Blue Jays Hammered by Collins, Drop Game 4 to Rockets
The Huntsville Rockets defeated the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 4-1, in Game 4 of the Division Series. Making an impact was designated hitter Brian Collins, who went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. The win moves Huntsville into a 2-2 tie with St. Catharines in the series.

Collins had a key at-bat in the top of the eighth to put Huntsville in front, 4-1. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run off St. Catharines pitcher Randy Nitchals.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Collins.

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