Jeff Harris (4-2) picked up the win for Quebec pitching eight innings with eight strikeouts and giving up one run. Klae Calvert (4-2) took the loss for the Spirit after pitching eight innings.

Quebec finished with 12 hits for the night behind first baseman Jeremy Todd. Todd was 2-4 with 2 RBI. In the 7th inning Jason Ballon doubled and advanced to third on Asdrubal Oropeza's sacrifice bunt and scored on Todd's two-run homer. Osmani Garcia had a solo homerun in the top of the 8th giving Quebec a more comfortable lead.
The Spirit rallied a run in the 9th inning on a two-out triple by Agramonte and an RBI by Jason Startari. Startari's RBI, his 22, makes him the team leader in RBI. It was not enough though as Quebec closer Mark Cisar forced Mike Tejada to ground out to end the game.
