Blue Jays Roll to 8-0 Win Over Ambassadors
The St. Catharines Blue Jays defeated the Fremont Ambassadors, 8-0, at Engineers Ballpark. St. Catharines left fielder Mike Odendahl had a superb performance. He went 2-3 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3. The Northern A West Division-leading Blue Jays have a record of 36-23.

Dustin Merkley had a big 2-run home run for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the third inning. With St. Catharines leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Jose Ramirez, who is tied for 2nd in the N-A in complete games with 1, and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Blue Jays on top, 3-0.

Said losing manager John McNair: "We need to play with more of an edge."
