The Ottawa Lynx outclassed the Aurora Paints, 9-2, at Paints Park. John Hearne, who is tied for 8th in the SL1 in home runs with 25, was a major contributor for Ottawa. Hearne was 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Carlos Balderrama earned the win, while 23-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown took the loss for Aurora. The Lynx bumped their record to 84-42 with this latest triumph.

In the top of the first, 19-year old center fielder Brian Nuzum hit a run-scoring triple. The 9th triple of the season for the Ottawa center fielder put the Lynx on top, 1-0.

"We've hit a lull," said Aurora manager Michael Wright.
