			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quebec 3, Worcester 2 (11 innings)</p>
<p>After Worcester scored in the top of the 11th to take a 2-1 lead, the Capitales countered with two in the bottom half to clip the Tornadoes 3-2 in 11 innings. After the score held solid at one for most of the game, Worcester 1B Nick Salotti hit a solo home run in the second extra frame. But when reliever Albert Ayala came in to try to close out Quebec, the Capitales rallied for two runs, capped by a walk-off RBI single off the bat of RF Sebastien Boucher, who went 4-for-5 in the game. Both starters, Worcester’s John Kelly and Quebec’s Michel Simard, worked six innings of one-run ball, but got no decisions. Capitales reliever Matthew Rusch gave up the Salotti home run but pitched two innings to win his second game of the season.</p>
<p>Brockton 5, Sussex 4 (10 innings)</p>
<p>Brockton RF Keith Brachold hit a two-run single in the top of the 10th inning to push the Rox past Sussex 5-4. Brachold’s hit, his third of the night, regained the lead for Brockton, which allowed two Sussex runs in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings. After the Skyhawks had been shut down most of the game by Rox lefty Logan Williamson, Sussex CF Carl Loadenthal hit an RBI triple and then scored on a single by DH Caleb Stewart to tie the game in the ninth. Brockton closer Josh Papelbon, who blew the save in the ninth, picked up the win after getting out of a jam in the 10th, while Sussex reliever Donald Jordat surrendered the two runs in the 10th and took the loss. The Skyhawks left the tying run at third base when Stewart grounded into a fielder’s choice to end the game.</p>
<p>New Jersey at Pittsfield (Postponed – Rain)</p>
<p>The game was postponed due to rain. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader beginning at 5:05 p.m. on Wednesday, June 2nd. Both games will be seven innings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brockton 4, New Hampshire 3</p>

<p>W: Matt Zachary (1-0) L: Juan Padilla (0-1) S: None</p>
<p>HR: None</p>
<p>Brockton strung together three straight singles in the bottom of the ninth inning to snap a 3-3 tie and defeat the American Defenders of New Hampshire 4-3. DH Palmer Karr had the game winning RBI and Rox 1B Keith Brachold went 3-for-4 and scored the deciding run. SS Dom Ramos also had three hits for Brockton to go with a RBI and a run scored. The middle of the New Hampshire order was solid as three players combined for six of the Defenders nine total hits. Neither starting pitcher factored in the decision. Brockton&#8217;s Matt Zachary picked up the win by pitching a scoreless top of the ninth. Juan Padilla suffered the loss for New Hampshire.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>

<p>W: Michel Simard (2-0) L: David Qualben (0-1) S: Jason Schutt (2)</p>
<p>HR: None</p>
<p>Quebec got a strong start from Michel Simard who went eight innings and allowed just four hits as the Capitales downed New Jersey 3-1.  Jason Schutt pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his second save.

<p>HR: None</p>
<p>Worcester SS Garrett Olson drove in the winning runs with a ninth inning double as part of a 2-for-3 night and the Tornadoes beat Sussex 3-2. Olson batted in all three of the Tornadoes runs in the contest. DH Nick Salotti also came up big for Worcester going 2-for-4 with a run scored. Kyle Ruwe started for Sussex and was the hard luck loser as he threw seven solid innings, struck out five, and allowed just one run. He left the game with a 2-1 lead but the bullpen couldn&#8217;t hold it.  After Worcester grabbed the lead in the top of the ninth, John Sullivan struck out the side in the bottom half to collect his second save.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Little Falls, NJ &#8211; Right-hander Michel Simard hurled eight shutout innings as Les Capitales de Quebec (3-3) defeated the New Jersey Jackals (3-3) by a score of 3-1 on Tuesday night at Yogi Berra Stadium.</p>
<p>Simard (2-0), who has now tossed 14 consecutive scoreless innings to begin the season, allowed four hits and struck out four batters without surrendering a walk. New Jersey southpaw Dave Qualben (0-1) was the tough-luck loser, surrendering two runs on eight hits with three strikeouts and a walk. Quebec closer Jason Schutt allowed one run in the ninth, but earned his second save of the season.</p>
<p>With the game scoreless heading into the top of the sixth inning, Quebec broke through with a pair of runs to take a 2-0 lead. After Qualben induced a groundout for the first out of the frame, three consecutive Capitales singled to load the bases for designated hitter Greg Stevens, who lifted a fly ball to center field that was lost in the twilight and fell for an RBI single to plate first baseman Eddie Lantigua. The next batter, left fielder Issael Gonzalez, lifted a sacrifice fly to left field to score catcher Pete LaForest for the game&#8217;s second run.</p>
<p>Quebec added a run in the top of the eighth inning as right fielder Alex Nunez singled with one out and stole second, enabling Gonzalez to single him home to extend the Capitales lead to 3-0.</p>
<p>The Jackals plated a run in the bottom of the ninth inning when third baseman Myron Leslie ripped a single down the right field line to send second baseman Marcus Sanders home, but Schutt halted the rally when he induced a game-ending groundout by first baseman Juan Tejeda.</p>
<p>Offensively, Leslie went 2-for-4 as the only Jackal to record a multi-hit game. Center fielder Zack Smithlin collected his 499<sup>th</sup> career hit with a third-inning single in a 1-for-3 night at the plate.</p>
<p>The Jackals and Capitales conclude their three-game series on Wednesday morning at 11:05 a.m. when New Jersey sends reigning Can-Am League Pitcher of the Week Isaac Pavlik to the hill against Quebec righty Orlando Trias. Cody Chrusciel and Joey Whelan provide the live webcast beginning at 10:50 a.m. with Jackals Pregame.</p>
