Rockland 3, Ottawa 2
First baseman Mikael Mogues and CF Mike Montville hit back-to-back home runs in the seventh inning to break a 1-1 tie and lift Rockland to a 3-2 win over Ottawa.

Sussex County 6, New Jersey 4
Sussex County scored three runs in the fourth inning to grab a 5-1 lead and would cruise from there to a 6-4 victory over New Jersey. The win by the Miners was their 14th straight home win, which sets a Can-Am League record for most consecutive victories at home.
Center fielder Jayce Ray led the way at the plate for Sussex County going 3-for-4 with a triple, two stolen bases and three runs scored. Miners DH Mikey Reynolds had a pair of hits in four at-bats and two RBI while 1B Audy Ciriaco plated two runs and drove in one.
