Rockland County, NY - The New York Boulders mashed out 21 hits, including four home runs, and won a wild slugfest, 18-10, over the New Jersey Jackals in a Frontier League game on Sunday at Palisades Credit Union Park.

The 21 hits tied a New York single game team record.

Tucker Nathans hit a pair of home runs for New York, while Zach Kirtley and Ray Hernandez hit one apiece.

Nathans ended the day with five RBIs, while Kirtley knocked in four runs and Hernandez three.

Russ Olive hit a solo home run in the eighth inning for New Jersey, his fourth of the season.

Mitchell had five hits, tying a Boulders' team record. Nathans had four hits in the win, while Kirtley had three.

The RBIs were the third and fourth of the afternoon for Isaacs.
