OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE

Ottawa, ON - The Ottawa Titans (29-25) used a quick offensive start and lights-out pitching to defeat the Tri-City ValleyCats (22-33) by a 5-1 final on Saturday, extending the winning streak to four in a row.

The Titans started hot yet again. Taylor Wright took a free pass and stole both second and third base, and AJ Wright sent one deep to right, bringing him in on a sacrifice fly to make it 1-0.

Eric Pardinho (win, 3-4) got the start facing off against the ValleyCats for the third time this season. He looked sharp early, facing the minimum through three.

In the second, Hunter Stokely and Chris Davis each reached on two-out walks. Michael Fuhrman popped up in the infield, but Ian Walters dropped the ball, bringing in a run to make it 2-0. Taylor Wright cashed one in on an RBI single to make it 3-0, and stole his third base of the day, number 22 on the season.

The Titans kept their foot on the gas in the third. Myles Smith walked and stole second, and Thomas Ferroggiaro drove him in with an RBI triple to make it 4-0.

David Glancy kicked off the fourth with a walk and swiped second. With two away, Brayden Jobert put the ValleyCats on the board with an RBI double.

Ferroggiaro was back at it in the fifth, sending an RBI single to centre, extending the Titans' lead to 5-1.

Both Chad Gartland (loss, 4-2) and Eric Pardinho were finished after five. Gartland allowed five runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks, while Pardinho allowed one run on just two hits and two walks.

Luis Misla (ND, 1-3) looked excellent out of the pen for the ValleyCats, allowing no hits and just two walks through three innings.

Yohanse Morel, Michael Vilchez, Liu Fuenmayor, and Ted Stuka held down the fort for the Titans, allowing no runs over four innings and just one hit.

Fuenmayor worked himself into a bases-loaded jam in the eighth, but a 5-4-3 double play let him escape untouched.



Taylor Wright went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run, an RBI, and three stolen bases. AJ Wright went 1-for-3 with a sacrifice fly. Thomas Ferroggiaro went 2-for-3 with a triple and two RBI.
