Trailing 3-0, Brockton charged back with three runs in the fourth inning to tie the game and one more run in the ninth inning to edge the Capitales. Rox starting pitcher John Kelly had a solid outing allowing three runs, two earned, on seven hits and struck out six through seven innings, but did not factor in the decision. After reliever John Boker held the Capitales scoreless in the eighth, closer Jon Koch came on in the ninth and nailed down his 12th save of the year. C Jason Radwan led the Rox at the plate going 2-for-3, including his 10th double, with a run scored and two RBIs. Quebec's Eddie Lantigua had half of his team's eight hits, going a perfect 4-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
