QUÉBEC, CANADA - The Tri-City ValleyCats (19-15) dropped the series opener 9-2 to the Québec Capitales (17-16) at Stade Canac on Tuesday.
The Capitales took a commanding 4-0 lead early in the ballgame. Québec hit a pair of solo homers off Dan Beebe with Kyle Crowl going yard in the first, and Sam Abbott hitting a roundtripper in the second. The Capitales brought in two runs in the third. Marc-Antoine Lebreux had a bunt single, Krowl was hit by a pitch, and T.J. White walked to load the bases. Afterward, Abbott brought in a pair with a two-run single.
Jakob Goldfarb cut the deficit to 4-1 with a solo homer off Carlos Sano in the fifth. It was his first homer in a ValleyCats uniform.
Québec extended its lead back to four in the bottom of the fifth. Juremi Profar picked up a single off Matt Dunaway. The Capitales placed a runner at each square base after Justin Gideon and Abbott worked a walk. Tyler Blaum plated Profar with a single to put the Capitales on top, 5-1.
Trey Hair took Sano deep with a solo blast in the sixth to make it a 5-2 ballgame. It was his eighth big fly of the season.
Québec retaliated in the bottom of the sixth. White was hit by a pitch, and Justin Gideon lifted one over the fence to pull the Capitales ahead, 7-2.
Québec took advantage of the free passes in the eighth. Aaron Ernst issued walks to Lebreux and White before Profar went to first on a single. Gideon reached on an RBI fielder's choice, and White crossed the plate on a passed ball to make it a 9-2 affair.
The ValleyCats showed life in the ninth. Franklin Parra hit Pavin Parks with a pitch before giving up singles to Goldfarb and Ian Walters. Parra retired the next three batters in order to come out unscathed after a bases-loaded, no-out jam.
