Third baseman Conrad Gregor belted a three-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning to give New Jersey an 11-10 lead and they would go on to win by that same score over Ottawa.

The Jackals had nine hits on the night with four batters having multi-hit games. Gregor went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBIs while 2B Andrew Dundon had a two-hit game, including a home run, along with five RBIs. Left fielder Alfredo Marte also helped the New Jersey offense by plating three runs and walking twice in a 2-for-3 night.

Jackals pitcher Christian Tessitore tossed a scoreless inning of relief and grabbed the victory in his first outing with the team. Tessitore gave up a hit in the three batters faced.

Center fielder Trey Martin had a 3-for-4 outing with two doubles, four runs scored and three RBIs in the loss for the Champions.
