The DSL Jays conceded 21 runs, if it was a fight it would have been stopped when their opponents scored their 18th run in the fifth inning. Bo Bichette went deep twice. Otherwise thee wasn't a lot of note on the farm, it was a mixed bag of results. Some lesser known names had multi hit games while some better known pitchers had bad days.
