The Tri-City ValleyCats came up just short in a slugfest against the Atlantic North Division-leading Québec Capitales, 13-12, after Torin Montgomery singled in the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth on Tuesday, June 16.

After a rain delay, David Glancy (2-for-5, 2B, 2 RBI, R) drove in Dylan Broderick (2-for-3, 2B, 3 R, 2 RBI, 3 BB) with a double in the top of the eighth to tie things up at 12.

Austin Dill struck out five batters in the start before Mason Martinez and Quinn Hocom came on in relief.
