Road Win Lifts St. Catharines to 2-1 Lead in DS
Despite a great performance by Newark starter Alex Martinez, the St. Catharines Blue Jays defeated the Flyers by the score of 5-3 at Newark Fields. Martinez threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball, but he couldn't prevent the Blue Jays from moving one game closer to the League Championship Series. St. Catharines now leads the Division Series 2-1.

St. Catharines used the clutch hitting of John Troia to snag the win. The pinch hitter drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a crucial one.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Troia.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Newark Fields in Newark.
