It was a solo shot for Hungate to give the Champs a 1-0 lead.

Brian Portelli delivered an RBI single in the bottom of the sixth for Ottawa to make it a 2-0 ball game.

The Jackals tried to slice back into the Champions lead in the top of the seventh.

Catcher Kevin Torres drove in his 21st and 22nd runs of the year with a two run single to score right fielder Jordan Hinshaw and designated hitter John Ruettiger.

New Jersey failed to piece together the tying run; dropping their record to 30-37.
