Expos Hang 8-2 Loss on Storm
The Niagara Falls Expos defeated the Syracuse Storm, 8-2, at Storm Park. Niagara Falls right fielder Danijel van Aalten was named player of the game for his superb performance. He was 4-5 with a double and 3 singles. He scored 3 times. The win leaves Niagara Falls with a record of 2-4.

van Aalten came through with some timely hitting for Niagara Falls. With the score 1-0 in the top of the third and one down, van Aalten hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was his 8th hit of the season -- and a big reason the Expos managed to win.

"Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," van Aalten said in reaction to the win.
