The scoring continued in the bottom of the third as first baseman Danny Canela singled to bring home Kevin Torres, upping the Jackals lead 4-0.

Ottawa scored its first run of the game in the top of the fourth when third baseman Jordan Caillouet hit a ground rule double to score Sebastian Boucher. Cailouet then scored on a single from first baseman Zak Colby.

In the top of the fifth, the Champions added another run on an RBI groundout from Boucher.

Jackals starting pitcher, Mariel Checo, exited the game during the sixth inning with men on first and third. Jose Velez came in relief and got Tyler Nordgren to groundout into a double play. Checo finished with a line of five and a third innings pitched, three earned runs, and three strikeouts. Checo picked up his first win of the season.
