Nice day for a pair of the top Canadian prospects at the AFL, with Charles Davalan launching his first homer for Glendale while Nathan Flewelling continued to rake by going 2-for-3 with a walk and a 111 mph single for Scottsdale.

This swing earned Nathan Flewelling game MVP. AL won 6-1.
Smooth swing and big power from Canadian Nathan Flewelling (high-A in Rays system), who rips a two-run shot in Futures Game.
