Border City pitcher George Connolly gave the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits all they could handle, but in the end, Corpus Christi left Legion Field with a win, 2-1. Connolly allowed 2 runs on 7 hits over 8 innings. Héctor Mercado got credit for the win, improving to 2-1. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3.2 innings. Edward Villalobos earned his 2nd save in 2 chances.

Adrián Maldonado, the fan favorite , had a direct impact on the outcome. Maldonado contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the second inning to put Corpus Christi up, 2-1.

"I was a little disappointed," said Border City manager Bennett Milton. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

Corpus Christi has a record of 51-66, placing them 7th in the Anderson League Sabathia Division.
