EDMONTON - Edmonton's six-run fourth inning buried Chico, as the Capitals defeated the Outlaws 12-5 in the rubber game of a three-game series at Telus Field.

Kane's mound opponent Alexander Francisco (2-1) started the scoring with an RBI single. Steve Brown, who burned Chico throughout the series, followed with a two-run double. Matt Rogelstad singled home a run, and Todd Linden put an exclamation point on the inning with a two-run homer.

Jason Roenicke allowed three earned runs in two innings out of the pen for the Outlaws. Alex Foltz and Omar Aguilar each pitched an inning of shutout relief.
Darrick Hale had a great day at the plate for Chico, with two triples, a single, walk, and three runs scored. Chris Lubanski and Jake Rife had two hits apiece and an RBI. Adam Buschini launched his team-leading fourth home run, a two-run shot in the seventh.
