Bulldogs Dispatch Royals, 11-3
The Hamilton Bulldogs routed the Cornwall Royals, 11-3, at King George Park. Sean Custis was one of the hitting stars. He was 4-5 with 4 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Hamilton. Aaron Bergman earned the win, while 24-year old right-handed pitcher Justin Hesley took the loss for Cornwall. With the win, the Bulldogs sit at 58-38.

Hamilton used a clutch at-bat from Devon Bidwell to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Bulldogs ahead, 8-3. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said losing manager Jon Williams: "We did everything to set the stage for them to beat us."
