Jackals catcher Kevin Torres doubled home designated hitter Nolan Meadows in the top of the second to cut the lead to one.

Third baseman Martin Figueroa hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the inning to plate the Miners fourth run.

Mateo hit a solo home run in the bottom of the third inning to make the game 5-2, Miners.

From there, Sussex County exploded for seven more runs.

An error by short stop Carlos Triunfel scored a run and a two run double by right fielder Breeland Almadova capped off a three-run fifth for Sussex County.

Ciraco hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning and Almadova picked up another RBI with a double to make it a four-run frame and give Sussex County the eventual 12-2 victory.
