Marcus Knecht hit Quebec’s second 2-run homer of the game in the bottom of the fourth to extend Quebec’s lead to 4-1. The Boulders followed this in the top of the fifth when Junior Arrojo slammed a 2-run homer to close the gap to 4-3. This is Arrojo’s 7th home run of the season.

Daniel Carela came in on relief for Richard Salazar in the bottom of the seventh after Salazar struck out four batters in a total of seven innings.

The Boulders threatened in the ninth when Mike Montville crushed a triple into deep right center field. An RBI single from Mike Fransoso then allowed Montville to score for the Boulders to make it 5-4. 

The game ended when Arrojo was caught off third base and tagged out in a run down to end the Boulders attempt at a comeback.
