Andrew Croteau (2 hits), Joe Milar and Patrick Solomon drove in the Reading runs. Pat Costigan had two hits, including a double, and knocked in a run for the Americans. Brendan McSorly (0-1) struck out five in 4.2 innings but took the loss.

The Malden Maddogs-Lexington Blue Sox game was postponed due to heavy thunderstorms in Lexington.
