Toronto catcher Emanuel Santiago contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 12th hit of the season and put the Hurons ahead, 5-1.

"That's a solid team effort right there," said Santiago. "Everyone's feeling positive after that win."
