Chicago got a decent performance from pitcher Grayson Rodriguez, but it wasn't enough to beat the Anaheim Diamonds. Anaheim won the Angel Stadium of Anaheim contest, 6-5. Rodriguez threw 6.0 innings allowing 3 runs for the losing team. Bryan Abreu snagged the win in relief. He goes to 6-8 on the season. Cody Poteet suffered the loss. By defeating Chicago, the third-place Diamonds improved to 76-62.

The decisive blow was delivered by Willi Castro in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Cody Poteet to win the game for Anaheim. The home crowd went nuts.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Castro said.
