The Ottawa Lynx defeated the Greensboro Naturals by the score of 12-7, with the biggest share of the credit going to catcher Josh Giunta. Giunta went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4 for the Lynx on the day. The Lynx, at 66-30, have now won 7 straight.

Ottawa won the game in part because of Brian Nuzum. The left fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Lynx ahead, 3-1. For the game, Nuzum had 2 doubles and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"This team is real focused right now," said Ottawa manager Nick Boyd.
