Quebec added to their lead with four in the seventh on an RBI single from CF Benoit Emond, a two-run single from 2B TJ Shimizu and an RBI double from LF Buck McNabb. Shimizu finished the afternoon 3-for-3 with two runs scored, while 2B Jobu Morita and C Clay Kuklick both had two hits for the Pioneers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- NORTH SHORE 6, GRAYS 5 @ Lynn, Mass.

With North Shore leading 5-3, the Grays tied it at five in the seventh on RBI singles from C Brad Hargreaves and CF Bernard Caston, before the Spirit went ahead for good in the eighth.

Worcester came back with two in the seventh on C Danilo Reynoso's RBI ground-rule double and 2B Alex Nunez's RBI single, but that was as close as the Tornadoes would get, as Andy Weimer and Mark Comolli shut the door the rest of the way. Brad Whitworth got the win for New Haven, giving up two runs on six hits in six innings of work, striking out six. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- BROCKTON 7, NEW JERSEY 6 @ Little Falls, N.J.

DH Kris Zacuto was 3-for-3 with three RBI for Brockton, while CF Zach Smithlin went 3-for-4 for the Jackals.
