The St. Catharines Blue Jays nipped the Newark Flyers, 5-4, at Newark Fields. St. Catharines pitcher David Tirado, in particular, starred.

Kevin Dobson delivered a big hit for St. Catharines. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"David just went about his business, throwing strikes," said St. Catharines manager Freddy Coss.
