The American Defenders of New Hampshire got a big night from 1B Clyde Williams to send the team to the win column in dramatic fashion. Williams was 3-for-6 with a pair of home runs, none bigger than his walk-off solo shot in the 14th inning, four hours and forty minutes after the game's first pitch. In all, Williams drove in four in the game. Williams' heroics overshadowed a great game by Brockton RF Jud Thigpen. Thigpen was 2-for-6 with a home run and five RBI. The game was an offensive showcase with the teams combining for 36 hits and five home runs. New Hampshire reliever Brett Palanski picked up his first win despite the offensive dominance thanks to 2/3 of a scoreless inning.
