Paterson, NJ - Back out on the road, the Ottawa Titans (10-13) dropped a 9-3 decision to the New Jersey Jackals (10-14) on Friday, opening their four-game series.
Through three scoreless - the Jackals, who had traffic aboard and in scoring position throughout the opening stages of the game, finally cracked Tyler Jandron (loss, 1-2) in the fourth.
All in all, the Jackals sent twelve to the plate against Jandron - scoring six times on seven hits. The hits and runs across all came with one out - seeing a two-run homer from Ryan Ford open the scoring. Later, the floodgates opened with an RBI double from Trent Taylor before a two-run extra-base hit from Albert Cipion added to the advantage. Before the inning was done, Jordan Scott added a run-scoring hit - leading to Jandron's night coming to an end.
The Titans' starter worked four - allowing six runs on ten hits, walking three, and striking out a season-high six in the loss. In both starts at Hinchliffe Stadium this season, Jandron has surrendered ten hits - both season highs for a pitcher on the staff.
In the fifth, the Jackals chipped away for two more against Kyle White - seeing RBI singles from Albert Cipion and Xavier Valentin plate runs.
Offensively, the Titans had their hands full against Yuhi Sako (win, 2-1) - as the Japanese-born righty faced just four more than the minimum through six. Sako went on to work seven shutout, striking out eight.
In the eighth, the Titans spoiled an 18-inning scoreless streak by getting a leadoff home run from Jake Guenther against right-hander Danny Sullivan. Two batters later, AJ Wright blasted his team-leading sixth homer with a two-run blast, making it 8-3.
For good measure, a Frank Nigro single in the bottom of the eighth plated a Valentin triple to make it 9-3.
In the loss, Jamey Smart posted a 3-for-4 night, recording his seventh multi-hit performance of the year. AJ Wright also extended his on-base streak to 17 consecutive games with the homer.
The Ottawa Titans continue their four-game set against the New Jersey Jackals on Saturday night at 6:05 p.m. from Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, New Jersey. All the action can be heard on CKDJ 107.9 and 94,5 Unique FM and live streamed on Flo Baseball.
