The New Britain Rock Cats downed the Trenton Thunder, 5-3, the largest share of the credit belonging to first baseman Darrell Hawkins. On the day, Hawkins went 3-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Rock Cats. Steve Nelson got the win, improving to 9-0. He held the Thunder to 1 run on 6 hits over 6.1 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 0.

"Put the ball in play and good things will happen," said Hawkins.
