Huntsville Beats St. Catharines, 6-3
The Huntsville Rockets knocked off the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 6-3, in Northern A action at Ballpark of Austin. Huntsville pitcher and Arlington, Texas, native Adam Williams had an outstanding performance. Williams, the winner, moves to 6-7. He threw 5.2 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 3 walks. The save went to Jimmy Lyles, his 21st this season.

Justin Shaffer, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2024 draft, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, the Huntsville shortstop hit a 2-run single. That put the Rockets in front, 4-2.

"Adam was able to execute his pitches," said Huntsville manager Alec Roller. "Simple as that."

Huntsville raised its record to 72-54 with the win.
