Worcester LF Francisco Caraballo had a big night at the plate to lead the Tornadoes to victory at home against Brockton. Caraballo was 3-for-4 with a solo home run, his sixth of the year. Worcester starting pitcher Matt Weagle had a good outing. He allowed four runs in the first two innings, but then settled in and held the Rox scoreless through the next five. He struck out five, walked four and scattered nine hits to improve to 5-1 on the year. Tornadoes closer John Birtwell allowed a run in the ninth, but held on for his seventh save.

HR: AC-Eddie Kim (3); NJ-Matthew Lauderdale (1)
In dramatic fashion, the New Jersey Jackals rallied from a four-run deficit in the eighth inning to tie the game and won it in the ninth with a walk-off home run by Matt Lauderdale. The comeback spoiled a solid outing by Surf starting pitcher Brian Rodaway. He allowed two runs on eight hits and struck out four in 6 2/3 innings, but did not factor in the decision. New Jersey reliever Rusty Tucker picked up the win, his second. He pitched a scoreless ninth.
