But with a runner on second and one out in the frame, Pride LF Bryan Duplissie ended Bennett's shutout and tied the game with his 14th home run of the season. Bennett did escape the inning without surrendering another run, but exited after the frame and did not factor in the decision. After a scoreless eighth inning, the Jackals got down to business against Nashua Reliever Rich Garces in the ninth, taking a 5-2 lead thanks to three runs on three hits in the inning. Jackals reliever Kevin Fitzgerald picked up his third win of the season after pitching the final two innings and allowing no runs on one hit with no walks and three strikeouts.

W: Adam Piechowski (6-1) L: Ryan Rafferty (1-1) S: NONE

HR: NHC-Henri Stanley (7); Chris Gaskin (4)

Cutters starting pitcher Kevin Culpepper pitched six scoreless innings Friday night against Atlantic City, but left the game in a scoreless tie and did not figure in the decision. Culpepper allowed just three hits with two walks and two strikeouts in six innings. But New Haven County got more than enough offense in the late innings to beat Atlantic City handily. The Cutters exploded for a four-run seventh inning highlighted by two home runs - a solo shot by LF Henri Stanley and a three-run blast off the bat of 1B Chris Gaskin. The Cutters made the score 6-0 in the eighth inning on a two-run double by 3B Junior Zamora.
