Blue Jays Top Desperados, 6-2
St. Catharines Blue Jays starter David Damian kept the Santa Rosa Desperados hitters in check, leading his team to a comfortable 6-2 win. Damian picked up the win for St. Catharines, going 7 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 2-3. The third-place Blue Jays have a record of 17-22.

The Desperados had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Blue Jays going into the top of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old first baseman Josh Keys came to the plate. Keys hit a solo home run on a 2-2 changeup from Santa Rosa hurler Greg Brando. It was Keys's 14th home run of the year.

"We had a nice day," said St. Catharines skipper Freddy Coss.
