St. Catharines Beats Kansas City, 8-1
The St. Catharines Blue Jays rode a solid performance from 25-year-old starting pitcher Alex Gomez to a win, beating the Kansas City Dust Devils, 8-1, at Kansas City Grounds. In 7.1 innings, Gomez surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. The first-place Blue Jays have won 4 straight games.

St. Catharines used the clutch hitting of Kenny Porterfield to snag the win. The catcher drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"Alex -- his tempo and rhythm were good," said Blue Jays manager Freddy Coss. "He was the key to us winning."
