Newark got their revenge for the Cutters' audacity with a 10-0 shellacking. James Shields pitched a complete game, 3-hit masterpiece, in which he struck out 12 and walked only one. Jack Cust and Nick Swisher each had 3 RBIs and Chipper Jones was 3-5, raising his league leading average to .395.
Todd Helton was 2-3 with 4 runs scored, a homer and a triple and Chase Utley went 2-3 with 4 RBIs to lead Vancouver to a 12-0 slapdown of D.C. Ben Sheets went the distance, holding D.C. to 5 hits and winning for only the second time all season.
Meanwhile Las Vegas and Tampa Bay duelled it out to a 2-1 final. The Plunkers were winning 1-0 for much of the game, but Matt Holliday and Frank Thomas hit back-to-back home runs to give the Rats a 2-1 lead. The Rats held the Plunkers to 4 hits in the game.
