W: Kyle George (4-1) L: Hunter Davis (2-4) S: Walker Whitley (6)

Atlantic City got a solid performance from starter JC Huguet and good work from their bullpen to hold off New Jersey 5-4. Huguet tossed six innings and gave up three runs and left with the score tied 3-3. The Jackals pulled starter Tom Atlee who'd allowed three runs in six innings in favor of Hunter Davis who could not keep the Surf's offense in check and allowed single runs in the eighth and ninth inning which proved to be the difference. Closer Walker Whitley earned his eighth save of the season with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. In defeat the Jackals got a fine performance by RF Marcos Rodriguez who led all hitters with a 4-for-4 night and an RBI.
