Hendrix Blasts Flyers, Blue Jays Take Game 2, 7-6
The Division Series is tied at 1 games apiece, thanks to a dramatic walk-off victory at Engineers Ballpark for the St. Catharines Blue Jays.

19-year-old center fielder Brian Hendrix was the star for St. Catharines, as he was 4-5 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while scoring 2 in the Engineers Ballpark contest. The 7-6 St. Catharines triumph allowed the team to even the best-of-7 series with the Newark Flyers at 1-1.

The decisive blow was delivered by Mitch Jensen in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 22-year old right-handed pitcher Keith Jong to win the game for St. Catharines. The home crowd went nuts.

"The crowd was boisterous today," said Hendrix.

The next game is set to be played for Tuesday, September 12th , 2023 at Newark Fields in Newark.
