After Jason Agresti moved him over to second on a groundout, Ward lined a base hit to make the score 2-2. With Santiago Chirino up, Ward stole second base which set up an RBI single from Chirino to give the Jackals their first lead of the day.

Quebec tied the game in the 6th after a single from TJ White and a Castillo balk, Manduley drove in White.

But, in the bottom of the 7th, the Jackals quickly took back the lead when Jason Agresti led off the inning with a double over the center fielder Tyson Gillies head.

Two batters later, Chirino doubles down the left field line, scoring Agresti who was the winning run in the Jackals 4-3 win.

Chirino was 3 for 4 with 2 RBI and Castillo went 6 innings, letting up 2 earned runs with 7 hits and 7 strikeouts. Ismael Cabrera got the win for the Jackals, pitching the 7th and 8th innings.

The Jackals will be back in action on Wednesday when they take on the Sussex Miners in a doubleheader at Yogi Berra Stadium. Game 1 will start at 11:05 and game 2 will start at 7:05.
