Dust Devils Edge Blue Jays, 7-6
The Dust Devils grabbed a win, 7-6, at Kansas City Grounds, overcoming a fine effort from St. Catharines pitcher Ryan Hadder. Hadder went 5.2 innings and allowed no runs. Kansas City reliever Hidero Fujiyama was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Randy Nitchals. St. Catharines falls to 6-3.

Timely hitting helped the Dust Devils beat the Blue Jays. Prime example: the two-out single Francisco Flores registered in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Randy Nitchals, Flores gave his team the lead, 7-6, when he hit a run-scoring single.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Flores.
