Dennis O'Grady (Duke) threw a complete game one-hitter, struck out nine, and walked only one to lead the Lunkers to a 1-0 victory over the Duluth Huskies at Wade Stadium. O'Grady is the first player to be named both Pitcher and Player of the Night as he was previously named the NWL Player of the Night on June 12. O'Grady's curveball and fastball were spot-on all night, and the lone hit he allowed came in the second inning. He retired the Huskies in the fifth by striking out all three guys he faced, and in eight of his nine innings pitched, he only faced three Duluth hitters.

Handley sat down the first eight batters of the game to get the Beetles off to a good start.

Colin Bear (Northwestern State) gave the Thunder Bay Border Cats a much needed solid outing on the mound firing a complete game five hitter.

Bear walked three and struck out seven as he evened his record at 1-1.
