Crusaders Deal Blazers 8-5 Loss
With designated hitter Alex Staton leading the charge, the Columbia Crusaders defeated the Mexico City Blazers, 8-5, at Burnt to a Crisp Field. Staton, who is tied for 10th in the CL in home runs with 6, was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Ken Testa finished the game for Columbia and earned his 8th save. The Crusaders raised their record to 16-29.

Columbia used the timely hitting of Justin Ryder to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Crusaders on top, 8-5. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll kick back tonight and enjoy this win," said Staton.
