Desperados Topple Blue Jays, 3-2
In a low-scoring tilt between the Santa Rosa Desperados and the St. Catharines Blue Jays, 26-year old right-handed pitcher Jamal Jones was the difference-maker. The Santa Rosa right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. In 6.1 innings, Jones surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. With the victory, the Desperados record stands at 87-53.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Josh Napier? The 22-year old center fielder Napier stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put Santa Rosa up, 3-0. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Jamal giving us the start that he did was huge," said Santa Rosa manager Angel Cano.
