The first game was another extra-inning affair for the Sox, as the Irish fought back to tie the game at 3 in the bottom of the 7th to force extras. The Sox answered back with 3 runs in the top of the 8th, and held the Irish scoreless in the bottom half to earn the win 7-4. Fred Kerner earned the W, while Rich Ryan also turned in five solid innings on the hill. Shaun Frazier, Wascar Soriano and Steve McDermet each had three hits.
Bret Binder took the mound in the second game, and in typical Bret Binder fashion, pitched a complete game for his fourth win of the season. The bats provided just enough offense, scratching out three runs with four hits and a couple walks. The Irish threatened with a man in scoring position in the bottom of the seventh, but Binder's fourth K of the game sealed the victory, 3-2.
The sweep moved the Sox to 3rd place in the Penn Division.
