Blue Jays Get Past Huntsville for 4-3 Win
The St. Catharines Blue Jays did just enough to sneak past the Huntsville Rockets, 4-3, at Ballpark of Austin. St. Catharines pitcher Carlos Balderrama, in particular, had a standout performance. The win was credited to 23-year old right-handed pitcher Tim Kelly in relief. His record improves to 4-1. Naohiro Goto took the loss. St. Catharines is now 80-56. Huntsville is 86-50.

St. Catharines used a timely hit from Eric Stogdill to get the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said St. Catharines manager Nate Cato. "It's usually not just one thing."
