W: Chuck Crumpton (2-0) L: Brad Whitworth (1-2) S: Alex Santos (2)

The scoring finished early, but it was an exciting game down to the wire before an almost-capacity crowd in New Jersey. Chuck Crumpton started out the game shaky, but settled down after 2 innings to pitch 5 scoreless innings, allowing 8 hits, 2 earned runs, and no walks in 7 innings of work. Alex Santos, despite a Wild Pitch, shut down the Jackals in the eighth and ninth to record his second save. Wilton Veras added to his .325 average, going 2-4 on the day with 2 RBI for the Jackals. But the difference maker today was Olivier Lepine, hitting a 2-run Homerun for Les Capitales in the fourth, putting Quebec ahead for the rest of the game.

BROCKTON 8, ACES 3
@ Brockton, Mass. Time: 2:44 ATT: 3,625
W: Derek Anderson (3-1) L: Trevor Marcotte (0-2) S: None
HR: BRK â Jake Daubert 2 (8,9)
The Rox only needed as many runs as Jake Daubert drove in to win today, but they got a few insurance runs from the rest of the team as they beat the Aces 8-4, winning their sixth straight. Derek Anderson pitched 7 strong innings for Brockton, allowing 3 earned runs, striking out 4 and walking none. Trevor Marcotte got shellacked by the Rox, allowing all eight of their runs on nine hits and four walks in four and two-thirds innings. The game was blown open early, with Brockton opening up a 5-2 lead by the end of the third. The Aces would come as close as 5-3 by the end of the fourth, but Brockton would answer with 3 more runs in the top of the fifth to put the game out of reach. Daubert accounted for half of Brockton's scoring, going 4-5 with 4 RBI, 3 Runs scored, 2 HR and a triple, making him the league leader in HR.

NEW HAVEN COUNTY 7, BANGOR 5
@ Bangor, Maine. Time: 2:58 ATT: 1,166
W: Jordy Alexander (3-1) L: Laine McKeller (0-1) S: Shane Waroff (5)
HR: NHC â Adam Shorsher (2), BNG â Derry Hammond (5)
New Haven County survived a fifth and sixth inning rally by Bangor to win for the seventh straight game. New Haven got on the board early, using small ball in the first and second to take a 3-2 lead. Adam Shorsher ended the Cutters' small ball, going deep with his second homerun of the year, a 2-run shot, making the game 5-2. Defensive miscues plagued the Lumberjacks, as their three errors led to 3 Cutters' runs, meaning the difference between victory, and their sixth loss in a row.
