TROY, NY - The ValleyCats and Quebec Capitales wrapped up their mid-week series and the 'Cats seven game homestand on Thursday evening at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium.

The Capitales added to their lead in the third when White would launch his second two run shot of the game, giving him his third and fourth RBI's on the night. Takamatsu would ground into a double play in the third with the bases loaded, bringing home the seventh Capitale run of the night.
