The Pittsburgh (GCL) Pirates got a good effort from starter Randy Larocque in defeating the Toronto (GCL) Blue Jays at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. The final score was 4-0. In 6 innings, Larocque surrendered 1 hit, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed no runs. Aaron Coughlin earned the save for Pittsburgh (GCL), his 10th.

Pittsburgh (GCL) used a well-timed hit by Sam Filter to capture the win. The catcher socked a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Pirates ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We played hard and won," said Larocque. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'

The Pirates go to 39-29, putting them third in the Northwest Division.
