Desperados Pin 7-3 Loss on St. Catharines
At Engineers Ballpark, the St. Catharines Blue Jays and Santa Rosa Desperados were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Santa Rosa Desperados downed the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 7-3, at Engineers Ballpark. The Desperados were led by Sean Welliver. Welliver was 2 for 4 with 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Casey Thill earned the win, while 22-year old right-handed pitcher Mike Richert took the loss for St. Catharines.

Santa Rosa used a clutch at-bat from Andrew Maness to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Desperados ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said St. Catharines manager Freddy Coss.

Santa Rosa raised its record to 92-47 with the win.
