Rockland County, NY - The New Jersey Jackals rallied with five runs in the seventh inning and salvaged the third and final game of their series with the host New York Boulders, winning 6-4 on Thursday at Clover Stadium in Pomona.
Trailing by three runs in the top of the seventh, the Jackals exploded for five runs to grab a 6-4 lead. A Josh Rehwaldt double brought New Jersey within 4-2, then a two-run single by Trevor Abrams leveled the scoreboard at 4-4. Successive singles by Dalton Combs and Alfredo Marte then put the Jackals on top, 6-4.
The Boulders had taken a 4-1 lead on the strength of two-run home runs by Max Smith and Chris Kwitzer.

The home run was Smith's 17th of the season - and it marked the fifth straight game that the outfielder had homered. Meanwhile, Kwitzer's homer was his 18th of the year.
New Jersey had scored first in the game, a second inning RBI single staking the Jackals to a 1-0 lead.
