Blue Jays Edge Ambassadors, 5-4
The St. Catharines Blue Jays polished off the Fremont Ambassadors by the score of 5-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to second baseman Ernie Aceituno. Aceituno was 3-4 with a home run and a double for the Blue Jays. St. Catharines, at 54-38, holds down first place in the Northern A West Division.

St. Catharines used the clutch hitting of Wally Bodin to capture the win. The catcher drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Aceituno said.
