One Run Not Enough for Barrels
St. Petersburg starter Alex Gurule put the Niagara Falls offense in a vise grip. The right-hander relied heavily on his knuckleball in leading the Pelicans to a 2-1 win. In 7.1 innings, Gurule surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 5. He allowed 1 run. Yes, it was a win for St. Petersburg; but their 10-40 mark is nothing to crow about.

St. Petersburg took a 2-0 lead on Jose Canto's 2nd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Canto hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Niagara Falls pitcher Tony Vertiz visibly frustrated.

"One measly run," said Niagara Falls manager Ewan Pethick. "That won't win you too many games."
