(Nashua, NH) The Nashua Pride scored five runs in the first three innings and held on for a 6-5 victory over the New Jersey Jackals before a crowd of 1,340 on Jimmy Fund Night at Historic Holman Stadium. The Pride extended their winning streak to three while New Jersey's winning streak came to an end at five.

The Pride (13-11, 30-36) scored three in the first inning off New Jersey starter and loser T. J. Stanton (0-1) on a run-scoring single by Larry Bethea and a two-run double off the bat of Billy Becher. In the third inning, Jayson Bass and Bethea hit back to back home runs off Stanton to up the Nashua lead to 5-0. For Bass it was his third for the Pride and for Bethea his fifth of the season.

New Jersey (12-13, 37-33) scored a pair of runs in both the fifth and sixth innings off Pride starter Jarrad Levergne (4-5) to make it 5-4 in favor of Nashua. The Pride went ahead 6-4 in the sixth on an RBI single by Andy Dillard that scored Tommy Rojas who opened the inning with a single and went to third on Becher's second double of the night.

The Jackals added a run in the seventh off Pride reliever Jason Blanton. Jason Tuttle, Guillermo Reyes, Clay Kuklick and Zack Smithlin had the RBI's for New Jersey.

Levergne went five and one-third innings for his second win as a member of the Pride. He allowed six hits and four runs, three of them earned, he walked three and struck out one. Levergne was followed to the mound by Blanton, Aric LeClair, Jamie Baker and Derrick DePriest who worked a perfect ninth inning to record his tenth save of the year.

Despite making three errors on the night, the Pride turned three double plays on the evening including a seventh inning rally killer as Baker induced Kuklick to ground into a 4-6-3 DP.

Stanton pitched five innings for New Jersey, surrendering six hits, six runs, four earned, walking two and fanning three.

The three-game series resumes Saturday night at 7:05. It'll be a battle of righthanders in Nashua with Dan Reichert scheduled for the Pride and Aaron Myers for the Jackals. Fireworks will follow Saturday's game.
