The Buffalo Rangers went down to defeat to Eikki Hostikka and his Maine teammates. The final score was 4-2, in favor of the Lobster. In 5 innings, Hostikka surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. He allowed 1 run. Maine is first in the Eastern Conference Jossue Lopez Division with a record of 90-73.

Carlos Sosa had a big 2-run home run for the Lobster in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Maine leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he got a sinker from Allan Tinter, who is tied for 7th in the EC in strikeouts with 190, and swatted a home run to left-center. It was his 18th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Lobster ahead, 4-1.

"I liked his command," said Maine manager Matthew McExpos. "Eikki was throwing strikes."
