The Armada avoided the sweep by the Flyers on July 3, winning 6-3 and the Crew would continue the winning trend on the Fourth of July by beating the Calgary Vipers 10-0 on a night where fireworks were seen inside the confines of Blair Field as well as around the area.

Vipers starter Evan Greusel (6-1) went 4 1/3 giving up 6 runs and getting his first loss of the season. Viper hitters didn't have much luck either. Newly named All-Stars Darryl Brinkley, Felix Jose, and Drew Miller combined to go 1 for 9 with four walks and a steal.
