Roberto Fondin powered the Maine Lobster to a win over the Houston Aquas. The final score was 5-4. The Maine catcher, who is tied for 10th in the EC in home runs with 29, was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Jim Lawrence went 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits. The left-hander struck out 3 and walked 0. With the win, he ups his record to 5-2 this season. Maine is now 77-83.

With Maine leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Fondin hit a fastball from Danny Mathews for a 3-run home run. It was his 29th home run of the season and put the Lobster ahead, 5-1.

"Both teams played hard," said Maine manager Matthew McExpos.
