LONDON, ONTARIO - Two home runs, a triple and 4 RBIs from David Christensen powered the London Rippers (16-24) to an 8-6 victory over Washington (14-25).

Christensen knotted the game at 1-1 with his 6th homer of the season, in the 2nd .

London narrowed the game to 6-5 in the bottom of the 6th, Joash Brodin singled and Christensen tripled, driving in his fourth run of the game.

Three straight infield singles set up a two RBI single for Shane Bagley, launching London back on top at 7-6. They would add another on a Brodin fielder's choice, taking an 8-6 lead.

Chris Kaminski (2-0) gets the win. David Francis closed the game for his 6th save.
