Cannonballers Get 11-8 Win Versus St. Catharines
The Cottage City Cannonballers defeated the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 11-8, at Cannonballers Ballpark. Ryan Martin was a standout performer for Cottage City. His 3 hits included 2 singles and 1 double -- this in addition to the 3 runs he scored and 2 he knocked in. Sergio Vera picked up the win in relief for Cottage City, while Mike Dineen took the loss. The victory makes Cottage City 35-87.

Some sloppy defense hurt the Blue Jays. In the bottom of the seventh, with Cottage City trailing 8-7, Rob Larsen was at the plate when Cottage City scored 2 on an error. The miscue enabled the Cannonballers to go in front, 9-8.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Larsen.
