Rockland County, NY - Jacob Sanford snapped a 6-6 tie with a seventh inning solo home run and added a two-run shot an inning later to help the Ottawa Titans to a 11-6 win over the New York Boulders on Wednesday at Clover Stadium in Pomona.

Ottawa took a 1-0 in the first inning on an A.J. Wright RBI single. The Boulders answered with two runs in their half of the first - one on a run-scoring double by Austin Dennis, the other on a sacrifice fly from Gabriel Garcia,
