D.C.'s Shawn Hill held the Falcons scoreless for 6 innings, allowing only 2 hits, despite 5 walks. Bobby Howry kept the shutout intact, recording his third save of the year, as the Bushslappers won 6-0. Carl Crawford was 3-4 and the bottom five in D.C.'s order each had one RBI (the other run scored on a wild pitch).
Hillsborough, finally healthy after a string of unfortunate injuries, drowned the Plunkers 6-1. All-Star backup Russell Martin was 4-5 and Ryan Howard had a pair of homers and 3 RBIs to lead the Hitmen's offense. Dan Haren picked up the win with 7 strong innings.
Blue Ridge rallied to score 4 runs to tie up their game with Philadelphia, but ended up losing 7-6 in 10 innings. Prince Fielder hit a grand slam in the ninth off ace reliever J.J. Putz to send the game to extra innings. Jimmy Rollins hit a bases-loaded single with two outs in the bottom of the 10th to win the game for the Animals.
Finally, another extra inning game was played between Newark and Sardine City. Newark took a two-run lead into the eighth, but Ken Griffey, Jr. hit a 2-run shot to tie the game up and force the extra frames. Unfortunately for Sardine City, Jack Cust hit a triple to give the Sugar Bears the lead and would eventually score to give them a 6-4 lead. Jared Burton sent down the Sardines in order in the bottom half of the inning, including two strikeouts.
