The Sheffield Talons beat the London Fog, 6-3, at London Grounds. Sancho Santiago starred for Sheffield. He was 4-5 with 4 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Trevor Leith got the win, improving to 9-9. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 1. Sheffield is in 4th place in the Baseball Federation of England & Wales English Baseball Championship with a record of 54-57.

Sheffield used a timely hit from Marcial Gómez to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Talons ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

Gómez called the win "a collective effort."
