Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans (21-23) won their fourth in a row, taking down the Quebec Capitales (23-21) 4-2 on Saturday.

With rain in the Nation's Capital, the contest was pushed back by nearly two hours, but it did not slow down the offence who got on top first. With two away in the bottom of the first against Stephen Chamblee (loss, 2-5), Jackie Urbaez came in to score all the way from first on Sicnarf Loopstok's RBI double to the gap in left-centre field.

The all-Canadian matchup would stay a one-run game until the Capitales took the lead in the fifth. Jordan Siket tied the game with an RBI groundout, scoring a Justin Gideon leadoff single. Next, Marc-Antoine Lebreux chopped a Grant Larson (win, 4-5) offering up the middle to score one, putting the visitors ahead 2-1.

After retiring eleven in a row from the end of the first through the start of the fifth, the Titans got a pair on base courtesy of two walks against Chamblee. As the lineup turned around for the third time, Jackie Urbaez blasted his fourth home run of the season to put the Titans in front for good with a three-run shot.

Grant Larson would toss his seventh quality start of the season by going six innings, allowing two runs on six hits, walking three, and striking out a trio.

Gleyvin Pineda, Erasmo Pinales, and Trevor Clifton (save, 2) tossed a combined three shutout innings out of the bullpen to preserve the win.

The Ottawa Titans wrap up their six-game homestand with the finale of a three-game set against the Quebec Capitales on Sunday afternoon at 1:00 pm at Ottawa Stadium. All the action can be heard on CKDJ 107.9 and live-streamed on Flo Baseball.
