The Riverhawks sent over 9200 fans home happy on Canada Day after witnessing a 6-3 victory. Edmonton pounded out eight hits while committing one error. They scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning and added singles in the fourth, sixth and eighth innings to improve their record to 11-3.

The Lefties got two runs in the ninth and one in the sixth as they fell to 10-15.
