Tropics Drop Whalers, 5-1
The Puerto Rico Tropics got a stellar performance from pitcher Huibert Meijer, who handcuffed the Hartford offense en route to a win, 5-1, at Eversource Delivery Charge Field. The win for the Tropics lifted their record to 66-33.

Puerto Rico used a timely hit from Ray Craig to get the win. The catcher delivered a run-scoring triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Tropics on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Craig attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
