The St. Catharines Blue Jays picked up a win at Keelhaulers Ballpark, knocking off the Santa Rosa Desperados, 6-1. Starting pitcher Alex Gonzalez played a key role in the triumph. After today's action, St. Catharines sits at 49-56, while Santa Rosa falls to 65-40.

Hugo Merino had a big solo home run for the Blue Jays in the top of the fourth inning. With St. Catharines leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he got a fastball from Steve Shewmaker, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2023 draft, and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 8th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Blue Jays ahead, 2-0.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said St. Catharines skipper Freddy Coss.
