The St. Catharines Blue Jays defeated the Kansas City Dust Devils, 9-2, at Kansas City Grounds.

David Tirado picked up the win, improving his season record to 11-5. He struck out 7 in 8 innings. The Blue Jays improved their record to 81-47 by beating Kansas City.

Said losing manager Jaden White: "Give the Blue Jays credit. They played a better game than we did."
