Blue Jays 14, Nationals 5

Managing to get two teams, an umpire, and a field together for a make-up game is no easy task.  For that reason, simply playing the game with the Nationals (Gertner) at Avenel Park on Friday, April 30, should be considered a win!  Under threatening skies, the Blue Jays claimed a windblown 14-5 decision.

Stats and selected notes from the coach are below.  The Blue Jays completed two put-outs in the field in this one, an unassisted force play on a grounder to 3rd base by Casper Larosch and a beautiful 6-3 assisted put-out on a groundball to shortstop Sebastian Bloomberg who threw to 1st baseman Konnor Huang.
