A good performance from center fielder Avery Williams helped the Whitby Bats defeat the Buffalo Bellflowers, 18-6. Williams was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 4 runs and drove in 4 for the Bats. The Whitby win streak is now 4 games.

Whitby won the game in part because of Nick Hartzell. The right fielder ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Bats ahead, 10-0. For the game, Hartzell had 1 double and 1 home run in 6 at-bats.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Whitby manager Mike Boyd.
