The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks defeated the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 6-5, at Engineers Ballpark. Grand Rapids left fielder Caleb Herd had a superb performance. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs. James Straughn, who is tied for 4th in the N-A in saves with 11, nailed down the save. The third-place Jet Hawks hiked their record to 50-31.

Grand Rapids won the game in part because of Devin Lepp. The designated hitter ripped a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Jet Hawks ahead, 6-5. For the game, Lepp had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Jet Hawks manager Sadayuki Nishikawa.
