The Newark Flyers downed the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 5-1, at Newark Fields. Stellar pitching by Brad Porretta had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who leads the N-A in complete games with 1, handcuffed his opponent all game. The Blue Jays fall to 5-11 and continue to sputter in the early going.

The Flyers picked up the win with a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

"We have a lot of confidence in Brad," said Newark manager Matt Conners.
