Critical Game 5 Goes to Host Blue Jays, 6-1
Game 5 was big. So was David Tirado.

In leading St. Catharines to a crucial 6-1 victory over the Dollywood Partons at Engineers Ballpark, the St. Catharines starter rose to the occasion, tossing 6 good innings. Tirado threw 6.0 innings of 4-hit ball as the Blue Jays defended their home field to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 World Series.

With two out in the bottom of the third, Jose Espinoza barreled up a fastball from John Wicken. The result was a 2-run home run, putting the Blue Jays in front, 5-1.

"We lost," Dollywood manager Adam Freeman said later. "We'll deal with it. The series isn't over."

The next game is set to be played for Thursday, October 5th , 2023 at Dolly Parton Ballpark in Pigeon Forge.
