With 9-1 Win, Blue Jays Go to 60-58
The St. Catharines Blue Jays got a stellar performance from pitcher John Decker, who handcuffed the Glace Bay offense en route to a win, 9-1, at Engineers Ballpark. Decker, the winner, moves to 5-5. He threw 6 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 9 and giving up 4 walks. The Blue Jays now have a mark of 60-58.

The Miners had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Blue Jays going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 21-year old center fielder Jay Kowalski came to the plate. Kowalski hit a solo home run on a 1-2 fastball from Glace Bay hurler Matt Westerman. It was Kowalski's 7th home run of the year.

Said losing manager Carlos Acevedo: "At the end of the day, we've got to play better."
