Blue Jays Get One-Run Win at Santa Rosa
The St. Catharines Blue Jays besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Santa Rosa designated hitter Kyle Braden by beating the Desperados, 4-3, at Keelhaulers Ballpark. Braden was 3-4 with 2 home runs. David Tirado earned the win for St. Catharines. He lasted 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 6. With the win, he raised his record to 6-5. The Blue Jays lead the Northern A West Division by 9 games.

St. Catharines used the timely hitting of Kevin Dobson to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Dobson attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
