Both teams had their chances, but the Huntsville Rockets eventually prevailed.

Brian Bergfeld knocked in all 4 runs for the Huntsville Rockets, helping them beat the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 4-3. The win was credited to T.J. Grimm in relief. His record improves to 1-0. George Branch took the loss.

Bergfeld contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Huntsville in the top of the fourth. With his team trailing 2-0, Bergfeld took a cutter from George Branch and stroked the home run to left. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Rockets to leap in front, 4-2.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said St. Catharines skipper Freddy Coss, "and it cost us."

The loss makes St. Catharines 5-9.
