The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks topped the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 4-2, in Northern A action at Jet Hawks Ballpark. The game was highlighted by the performance of Grand Rapids pitcher Scott Barth. Picking up the save was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Andy Mendelson. The win puts Grand Rapids at 6-5.

The Jet Hawks got a big boost from second baseman Chris Swain who had a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the first inning off Blue Jays hurler David Tirado. It was his 3rd walk of the season and put Grand Rapids on top, 1-0.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Grand Rapids manager Sadayuki Nishikawa.
