The Bronx Bombers scored eight runs in the 5th inning to break open the game and rout the Blue Jays 12-3. Anthony Rizzo's grand slam capped the inning and was one of three round-trippers off Yankee bats in the frame. The Yanks currently have the best record in all of Major League Baseball at 48-16.

This week, the organization's Division III Committee on Infractions found that head coach Jeff Meredith violated NCAA rules when he used a physical education course to engage in off-ice conditioning with student-athletes before the first permissible practice date. The program has been put on two years probation and fined $1,500, while Meredith has been suspended from all ice hockey-related activities for three months, among other punishments levied by the NCAA.
