Rapids Win at Atlantic City, 10-2
Riding the 3-hit performance of the 22-year old second baseman Rick Dempster, the Niagara Falls Rapids stopped the Atlantic City Jokers, 10-2, in 9 innings. Preston Benson earned the win for Niagara Falls. He lasted 7.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 10 hits, while striking out 9. With the win, he raised his record to 1-2. The third-place Rapids have won 4 in a row.

With Niagara Falls leading 2-1 in the top of the third, Dempster hit a fastball from Raphael Pérez for a 3-run home run. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Rapids ahead, 5-1.

Atlantic City manager Ryan Fales called the blowout loss "nothing to write home about."
