The score remained 2-1 heading into the top of the 9th. Both Niese (6 innings pitched, 2 ER) and Pineiro (7 IP, 1 ER) would hold their own this game. Madison closer Brian Wilson was on the mound to try and close it out. Wilson recorded 2 quick outs, striking out Ike Davis and Hunter Pence. Maicer Izturis got the walk to bring the winning run to the plate in pinch hitter Carlos Quentin. But Quentin would not be able to deliver, grounded out to Brendan Ryan at short to end the game. The Muckrakers edge the Voltigeurs by a 2-1 score, and are a win away from advancing to the AP Conference Finals.

(Hernandez). Up 3-1 in the series, the Muckrakers were at home with their ace Felix Hernandez on the mound. In the top of the 1st, Neil Walker hit a 1 out single. Mike Aviles grounded to 2nd, forcing Walker out but allowed Aviles to reach first. A Hernandez wild pitch moved Aviles to 2nd, and Aviles moved to third on a base hit by Ike Davis.

Denard Span smoked a grounder to Chase Headley, who could not handle it. Error to the third baseman, and 2 runners were on. Ramon Santiago singled, scoring Wieters to cut the lead to 2-1 Voltigeurs. In the top of the 7th, Felix Hernandez was still pitching for the Muckrakers. Hunter Pence hit a leadoff single, and Jim Edmonds walked. Headley doubled, scoring Pence. Russell Martin hit a grounder to third, allowing Edmonds to score and Martin to reach first safely. 4-1 Voltigeurs after 7. In the top of the 8th, Hernandez gave up 2 singles before being pulled in favor of Jeff Karstens. Hunter Pence greeted Karstens with a 3-run home run. 7-1 Voltigeurs. Montreal would add another 3 runs in the 9th for the exclamation point. The Voltigeurs blow out the Muckrakers 10-1 in the final game at Madison in this round 1 series, and technically take back home field advantage as the series shifts back to Montreal for its conclusion.
