St. Catharines and Cottage City duked it out and the Blue Jays came out victorious.

St. Catharines shortstop Ed Montes de Oca had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Cottage City Cannonballers, 7-4. The first-place Blue Jays have won 6 in a row.

Grant Gatzke's at-bat in the top of the sixth was significant, coming with the bases loaded and the game tied, 2-2. The St. Catharines right fielder hit a 2-run single off Masanori Kishimoto to put the Blue Jays up.

"When their pitchers are leaving stuff over the heart of the plate, we're not missing it," said St. Catharines manager Freddy Coss.
