Despite a great performance by Vermont right fielder Tony Castro, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers defeated the Lake Monsters by the score of 5-4 at Eastwood Field. Castro went 3-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Mahoning Valley pitcher Kevin Dudley earned the win, hiking his record to 1-2. Chris Forrest suffered the loss. The Mahoning Valley win streak is now 3 games.

Jonathan Thomas was the walk-off hero for Mahoning Valley. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Scrappers shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Mahoning Valley manager Esteban Gonzalez said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
