Soggy conditions did not keep Hartford and Montreal from playing their scheduled game.

Behind a solid performance from center fielder Oscar Juarez, the Hartford Matadors defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 13-4. Juarez slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Matadors. The winning pitcher was Paul Birchfield. He tossed 72 pitches over 5 innings, allowing no runs on 4 hits. Morgan Felty earned the save for Hartford.

Juarez had a key at-bat for Hartford in the top of the second. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and gave Hartford an early 2-0 lead.

"We lit up the scoreboard," said Hartford manager Jesse Heugly.

Hartford now owns a record of 49-23.
