Rocket Robin
robing@eol.ca

Attendance was about 100 people. Astros win their first home game this year. Hitmen still haven't won this year.

Hitmen's scorer Francisco Dos Santos joined the team earlier in the week after being released by the A-League Toronto Lynx for not scoring this year.

Astros head coach Tony LaFerrara was in the press box for part of the game serving a suspension for being tossed out of a game about a month ago. In these days of cellular phones, he could still make his instructions clear.
