Raucous Engineers Ballpark Crowd Propels Blue Jays to 6-4 Victory; Series Tied at 3
The St. Catharines Blue Jays and the Newark Flyers will take the Division Series to a decisive 7th game. In a must-win situation, the Blue Jays beat the Flyers, 6-4, at Engineers Ballpark to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. St. Catharines right-hander David Tirado had a big role in the win. He threw 7.0 innings allowing 3 runs.

Had John Troia not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Troia hit a bases-clearing double. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Blue Jays.

"I told everyone I have a terrible disease and this might be my last season," Tirado said with a grin. "Hopefully that should get them extra motivated for Game 7."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Engineers Ballpark in St. Catharines.
