Despite a great performance by San Diego designated hitter Jose Pedroza, the Minneapolis Vikings defeated the Destroyers by the score of 8-5 at Minneapolis Grounds. Pedroza was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times. Richard Samayoa, who finished 3rd in the WC in innings pitched with 214.0 in 2069, was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 5 hits, with 3 walks and 6 strikeouts. Phil Payne earned save number 14 this season.

First Baseman Midori Morikawa made an impact for Minneapolis, when he swatted a 2-run double off Elmo Fasanaro in the bottom of the first. For the contest, Morikawa was 1-1 with a double. He drove in 2 runs.

"It's always nice to be on the winning side," Morikawa told the Minneapolis Herald. "But we take nothing for granted."

The last-place Destroyers dropped to 49-56.
