Blue Jays Lose Big to Desperados, 10-2
Neil Vicari impressed in the 10-2 Santa Rosa win over St. Catharines. Vicari went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Ken Fox earned the win. Alex Gomez, who is tied for 2nd in the N-A in complete games with 2, took the loss for St. Catharines. Aaron Tanguay closed the game out for Santa Rosa, earning his 1st save.

A key moment came with no one out in the bottom of the second. That's when Vicari hit a sinker from Alex Gomez for a 2-run single, putting Santa Rosa up, 2-0.

"We took a roundhouse punch to the chin," said losing manager Freddy Coss.

This win makes it 5 in a row for Santa Rosa.
