PATERSON, NJ - The Tri-City ValleyCats (13-11) recorded their first sweep of the season, and defeated the New Jersey Jackals (9-14) 10-2 in a rain-shortened six-inning game at Hinchliffe Stadium on Thursday.

Tri-City opened the scoring in the second. Oscar Campos and Ian Walters singled off Joe Testa. Robbie Merced walked to load the bases. Ryan Cash walked in a run, and Demias Jimerson followed with a bases-clearing double to put the ValleyCats ahead, 4-0.

Tri-City poured it on the third. Alec Olund was hit by a pitch, and Campos singled him to second. Chris Burgess was plunked, which put a runner at every square base. Merced drove in two with a double to make it a 6-0 contest.

Olund singled in the fourth, and moved to second on a passed ball. Campos knocked Olund in with a single to put the ValleyCats on top, 7-0.

New Jersey got on the board in the fifth. Hemmanuel Rosario doubled off Easton Klein, and Ryan Ford hit a two-run homer to cut the deficit to 7-2.
