Sussex 2B Chris Brown was 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI to lead the Skyhawks to a 6-4 win against Worcester.

The American Defenders of New Hampshire got a solid outing from starting pitcher Miguel Flores, but needed a pair of runs in the 10th inning to come away with the 3-1 win against New Jersey. Flores allowed one run on nine hits in 6 2/3 innings, but did not factor in the decision. Instead it was American Defenders reliever Adam Piechowski who was credited with the win to improve his mark to 2-0 on the year. Jackals starting pitcher AJ Wideman also put forth a great effort, tossing eight shutout innings in which he fanned seven. New Hampshire closer Juan Padilla tossed a scoreless 10th inning to earn his 13th save.
