- The lowest seed in the draft continues the Cinderella story, winning 6-4 over the Miners in extra innings. The Blackbirds took the lead in the top of the 9th on Mel Ott's 2nd home run in as may at bats, but a half an inning later Dick Allen tripled and soon scored, tying the game at 4. After three scoreless frames, Niagara scored 2 in the 9th to win the series.
- Down 2-1 in the 8th, the Shadows Lou Gehrig slammed a 3-run bomb that held up, helping his squad defeat the Philbens 4-2. Starter Dizzy Dean was very wild, walking seven in 8 innings, but he gave up just 6 hits and 2 runs to record the win.
- The 8th seeded Brighton Shadows will face the 32nd seeded Niagara Frontier Blackbirds in the third round. The winner advances out of the Cartwright Bracket to face the victors of the Barrow Bracket.
Barrow
- If only every series was as good as the classic confrontation between Gold Country and Newark. It's unfortunate someone had to win, and one can't help have the feeling that over the course of 100 games the two teams would have split at 50. The fourth time the series, extra innings were needed, and for the 4th time the game was decided by 2 runs or less. Newark won behind a great 10 inning, 5 hit start from Bill Bernhard. The game winning runs were plated thanks to an 11th inning Johnny Mize two run shot. Rob Murphy had some trouble nailing down the save, but got out of 1 out, 1st and 2nd situation, to give Newark the game 7 win.
- The 12th seeded Newark Slam Dumps will face the 20th seeded New York Blues in the third round. The winner advances out of the Barrow Bracket to face the victors of the Cartwright Bracket.
Rickey
- Well, that was anti-climactic. Roaring back from a 3-0 series deficit, and 1 night after bypassing ace starter Addie Joss in an elimination game, the ace spit the bit and couldn't get more than 1-out before being removed. Joss gave up 4 runs on 18 pitches, and never looked comfortable. Worse still, reliever Dizzy Dean was just as bad, giving up 4 consecutive hits and 3 runs of his own, putting Otherton in a 7-0 hole at the end of 1. The Death Speakers rode the 1st inning crooked number to an 8-4 win. Starter Bill Bernhard was effective (9 IP, 4 R, 9 H) in the victory.
- Down 3 games to 1, John McDonald capture their third consecutive and advance over Helena with an easy 7-1 win. Honus Wagner banged out 3 hits and 2 RBIs, while starter Mark Fidrych won his 2nd game of the tournament, holding Helena to 7 hits in a complete game win.
- The 3rd seeded Lusitania Death Speakers will face the 6th seeded John McDonald Fanclub in the third round. The winner advances out of the Rickey Bracket to face the victors of the O'Malley Bracket.
O'Malley
- No games this night, but just a note the the 2nd seeded Manetheren Red Eagles will face the 7th seeded Spanish Harlem Pinata Beaters in the third round. The winner faces off against the Rickey Bracket victors.
