A day after upsetting the Royals Baseball Club, the Ontario Blue Jays couldn't generate any offense against the Bo Jackson Midwest (BJM) pitchers and dropped a 4-2 decision Friday morning.

It was definitely two different approaches to managing a pitching staff. Blue Jays starter LHP Kyle Willard threw a complete game in a solid losing effort, allowing 6 hits and striking out 5. Toolsy Bo Jackson outfielder Jeff Boehm, the team's cleanup hitter, had two hits, scored a run and stole a base to center the Bo Jackson offense.

The 6 BJM pitchers came in all types, 3 left handers, 3 right handers, different varieties and looks. Iowa 2011 southpaw Cory Ege was the only one to throw more than 3 outs, picking up the save with 2 innings to finish the game. Ege is a long and loose lefty who topped out at 87 mph.

The Blue Jays stole 8 bases during the game, including 3 by 2B Jose Torralba, but left runners at 3rd base three times and had another runner thrown out at home plate.
