Rockets Score Late, Top Blue Jays, 6-3
Getting a good performance from third baseman Justin Perez, the Huntsville Rockets defeated the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 6-3. Perez went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Rockets. Huntsville reliever Alejandro Aguilar was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Juan Cotto. Brian Blanchette was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities.

Huntsville took a 4-3 lead on Jesus Belcher's 9th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Belcher hit in the bottom of the eighth, left St. Catharines pitcher Juan Cotto visibly frustrated.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Belcher told the Huntsville Bulletin.

The Rockets bumped their record to 41-30 with this latest triumph.
