The Pittsburgh Kingfishers defeated the Panama City Piranhas, 6-5. Earning player of the game honors was second baseman Krystof Melichar, who went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Jared LaBarge got the win, improving to 10-5. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 5 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 5. Pittsburgh now owns a record of 51-38.

The result might have been different for Pittsburgh, had it not been for Phil McCroskey. The center fielder produced a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Kingfishers ahead, 6-3. For the game, McCroskey had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

In postgame comments to the Pittsburgh News, McCroskey said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
