The Manitoba (4-2) and the Ailes du Quebec (2-3) both had scoring chances on Saturday, but it was the Manitoba that were able to capitalize on them as they pulled out a 2-1 win at Julien Morin.

The fact that the Manitoba grouped all of their runs into the seventh inning helped them take advantage of their hits.

The Manitoba got the win thanks in large part to Branden Hatley's dominant, nine-strikeout performance. Hatley allowed one earned run, six hits and two walks over 6 2/3 innings.

Francis Krakana was effective even in defeat, mowing down seven the Manitoba batters and allowing two runs.

Krakana was charged with his first loss of the year.
