W: Derek McDaid (1-0) L: Seth Overbey (1-1) S: Jason Schutt (3)

HR: NJ- Matt Lauderdale (1), Juan Tejeda (2)

Quebec and New Jersey battled in a see-saw affair that saw the teams put up 10 runs in the final three innings and the Capitales on the winning end of an 11-10 score. Trailing 7-5 in the bottom of the seventh inning Quebec used three singles and two walks to generate four runs and grab a 9-7 advantage. The Jackals came right back with three runs in the top of the eighth and led 10-9. But the Capitales strung together three more hits in their turn at the plate and RF Alex Nunez’s double drove in two for the final runs of the contest. Neither starter factored in the decision. When Quebec closer Jason Schutt got the final out, the tying run was on third base.
