Harlem got a terrific game from first baseman Alberto MacKnight. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to California, 8-7. MacKnight was 3 for 4 with 3 doubles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Eric Norman, the winning pitcher, improved to 11-12. He pitched 7.1 innings, giving up 13 hits and 7 runs, while striking out 8 and walking 2. The 'W' lifts California's record to 68-81.

Mack Jones, the fan favorite , had a direct impact on the outcome. Jones contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put California up, 3-0.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Jones said after the game.
