The Phoenix Hotspur U-21 got a sterling performance from pitcher Lorenzo Ventura, but the Expos still prevailed, 4-3. Ventura was named the player of the game in a losing cause. He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball. Manuel Montés, credited with the win, is now 2-1. He allowed no runs on no hits in 0.2 innings. The 8th-place Expos improved to 16-28.

Niagara Falls took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Jim Unknown hit a clutch 2-run home run to bring Expos fans to their feet.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said Niagara Falls skipper Orlando Batista. "I can't complain."
