OTTAWA, ON - The New Jersey Jackals (4-7) defeated the Ottawa Titans (5-6) 9-6 on Thursday night. The Jackals struck first in the second inning when Arbert Cipion scored on a throwing error. Later in the frame, Walner Espinal singled in Xavier Vargas, doubling the lead to 2-0.
In the third, New Jersey piled on two more runs courtesy of a Ryan Ford RBI-groundout that plated Bryson Parks and a Trevor Sheehan single that drove in Ryan Davis.
Leading 4-0 in the fifth inning, Chris Reeder reached on a fielder's choice that led to an error which allowed Cipion and Sheehan to score, ballooning the advantage to 6-0.
In the bottom of the eighth, Ottawa mounted a comeback, scoring four runs and had the go-ahead run at the plate, but David Tiburcio (ND) induced a pop out to end the threat.
In the ninth, Davis provided additional insurance, doubling in Parks and Reeder to make it 8-4. Davis scored a few batters later on a delayed double steal, growing the lead to 9-4. The Titans tacked on two unearned runs in the ninth, but Nicholas Trabacchi struck out Jonah Sebring to secure the win.
