W: Brian Ford (2-2) L: Jason Paul (0-1) S: Jake Upwood (1)

HR: SUS - Abraham Ayala

Sussex scored runs in six of the eight innings they came to the plate to defeat Nashua 7-4, their third straight victory. The Pride tallied three runs in the first on a C Tommy Rojas two-run double and an RBI single from 1B Bryan Duplissie, but Skyhawks starter Brian Ford settled down and allowed one run on four hits in his final five innings of work.

Onix Mercado's pinch-hit single in the top of the ninth drove in the game's only run as Worcester edged Quebec. Both teams had had chances previously, as the Tornadoes left eight runners on base in the game; meanwhile, the Capitales had a runner on third base with no outs in the eighth inning but couldn't score, and had CF Goefrey Tomlinson thrown out at the plate to end the game. Gabe Ribas got a hard-luck no-decision for Quebec, scattering six hits and striking out seven in eight innings of work.

Weed's RBI single, and two more in the ninth on a bases-loaded walk and a sacrifice fly.
