The winning pitcher was Cody St. Pierre with Jerry Vialet getting the loss. Top batters for the winners were Antonio Cruz (3 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs) and St. Pierre (3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs). For the Hummers, Colin Williams was 3 for 4 with a home run and two RBIs and Sylvester Blake was 4 for 4 with two home runs and five RBIs.
