The starting pitchers were Terrance Steinman for League 1 and Luis Hesterfer for League 2. Steinman, the Nashville Firecats star, gave up a run in the top of the second inning when Shayne Kimpel and Leslie Hubbard hit back to back doubles. The Stade Maples contributed another run for League 2 when Travis “The Beast” Araoz hit a solo home run to right field in the third inning. Michael Duhon of the Brooklyn Knights got League 1 on the board with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the fourth. In the fifth inning, Dick Moran scored on a sacrifice fly and Hooks Goetz scored on Don Jordan’s wild pitch. That put League 1 up by a score of 3-2. A Mario Toralbo wild pitch scored Oscar Barrientes in the bottom of the seventh. That was the last of the scoring, as League 1 defeated League 2, 4-2.

In League 1, the Brooklyn Knights and Nashville Firecats maintained their division leads. League 2 was a different story, however. The Key West Corals surged to first place thanks to an NALB-best 20-4 record in June, knocking the Stade Maples out of the top spot. The world champion Vancouver Wild went into a free fall in June. They went 6-18 and slid to third place as the Phoenix Rattlers overtook the division lead.

The Dunedin Otters had the first pick of the 2009 NALB Rookie Draft and selected 18-year old left fielder Osvaldo Montoya from Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Several trades took place in June. The trade involving the largest number of players was an 11 player deal between the Brooklyn Knights and the Dunedin Otters. The Knights sent SP Henley Roberts and CF Guadalupe Echvana to the Otters in exchange for CF Carl Gwinn, SP Manny Roldán, SP Félix Valdel, SP Natsu Kaneko, SP Juan Ramos, MR Steven Donoghue, MR Pacífico Delrio, CL Derrick de Vlaming, and CF Yoshiaga Kimiyama.
