Despite having already clinched the first-half crown, the Quebec Capitales did not let up, taking care of Sussex on the road to run their record to 31-15.

Delabar fanned six and walked three en route to his second win of the season. Brockton 1B Jason Colson led the way offensively. He was 3-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI. 3B Chris Kelly provided the only real offense for the Jackals in the losing effort. He was 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the sixth.
