Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Burlington Royals got the win.

Dave Smith propelled his team to victory over the Danville Firebirds. The final score was 4-3, Burlington. Tony Burke notched his 12th save in 12 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Burlington, had it not been for Jeff Thomas, the 22-year old center fielder . Thomas contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the ninth inning to put Burlington up, 3-2.

"Dave commanded the zone from bottom to top," said Burlington manager Bartolo Colon.

The win boosted Burlington to 36-25.
