Lobster Sneak By Titans, 7-6
Led by Jacob Testaverde, the Maine Lobster defeated the New York Titans, 7-6. Testaverde was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 times for the Lobster. The save was credited to Masato Nishihara, his 7th. With the win, the Lobster improved to 18-20.

Jason Diaz came through with a big-time hit for Maine. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 6-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Lobster manager Matthew McExpos wasn't all too pleased, despite the win, telling reporters that the performance highlighted some clear areas for improvement moving forward. He refused to be more specific, however. "I'm not gonna publicize our weaknesses," he said. "That stuff stays in the clubhouse."
