  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Franklin Cubs (59-72) 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 5 9 1
Moncton Mounties (106-25) 0 2 1 1 2 2 2 4 X 14 17 1
Shafer Leads Mounties to Win
Getting offensive support from Danny Shafer, the Moncton Mounties topped the Franklin Cubs, 14-5. Shafer went 2-4 with a double and 2 walks. He scored 4 runs and drove in 2 for the Mounties. Byron Bruce, the winning pitcher, is now 1-0. He went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 1. The first-place Mounties have won 13 consecutive games.

The Cubs had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Mounties going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old second baseman Outa Kagawa came to the plate. Kagawa hit a 2-run home run on a 1-2 changeup from Franklin hurler Jim Unknown. It was Kagawa's 21st home run of the year.

"We're trending in the wrong direction," said Franklin manager Kerry McElree.
