Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Blue Jays, 3-1
Game 5 was big. So was Dusty Berger.

In leading St. Catharines to a crucial 3-1 victory over the Huntsville Rockets at Engineers Ballpark, the St. Catharines starter rose to the occasion, tossing 7.1 good innings. Berger threw 7.1 innings of 6-hit ball as the Blue Jays defended their home field to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Gavin Williams took Huntsville hurler Doug Voeller deep in the bottom of the eighth. His 3-run home run put the Blue Jays on top, 3-1. In all, Williams had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

Williams called the win "a lesson in teamwork."

Game 6 is scheduled for Friday at Ballpark of Austin in Huntsville.
