Trois-Rivieres 16, Ottawa 1
It was all Trois-Rivieres tonight as they rolled past Ottawa by the score of 16-1. The Aigles jumped out to an 8-0 lead after just three innings of play and would never back en route to the big victory.
Trois-Rivieres banged out 14 hits in the contest with eight of the 10 batters collecting at least one.

Quebec 6, Hollywood 5
Quebec tallied a pair of runs in the seventh inning to grab a 6-2 advantage and that would be the difference in the game as the Capitales edged past Hollywood, 6-5.
The Capitales jumped out in front 4-0 in the first inning thanks to a wild pitch and run-producing singles by DH TJ White and C Adam Ehrlich. The score would stay that way until the top of the seventh when 1B Chris Kwitzer and RF Tom McKenna each hit a solo home run to cut the Quebec lead to 4-2. The Capitales would then put the game way in the bottom frame when they plated a pair of runs on a triple from LF James McOwen and a 2B Maxx Tissenbaum sacrifice fly. Hollywood tallied three runs in the eighth to make the game interesting but Quebec held on for the win.
Ehrlich had a perfect 4-for-4 game at the plate with two RBIs while McOwen scored a pair of runs and drove in one in a 1-for-3 night.
Capitales starting pitcher Lazaro Blanco allowed two earned runs over 6 2/3 innings of work to nab his third win of the season. Blanco gave up two walks and six hits to go along with eight strikeouts.
Sussex County 8, Rockland 4
Sussex County jumped out to a 5-1 lead after three innings and would cruise from there to an 8-4 victory over Rockland. The Miners had 12 hits in the game and were helped offensively by the 1-2-3 hitters of CF Jayce Ray, SS Jarred Mederos and 1B Audy Ciriaco. The trio combined to go 6-for-12 at the plate with five runs scored and three RBIs. Along with those three, 2B Mikey Reynolds scored a pair of runs and drove in one in a 2-for-5 night.
