Titans Blanked by Miners in Rain-Shortened Game

OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE

Ottawa, ON - The weather once again wasn't friendly, as the Ottawa Titans (37-30) were held off the board in a five-and-a-half-inning game shortened by rain against the Sussex County Miners (32-35) by a final score of 4-0.

Dominic Puccetti (loss, 4-3) made his return to Ottawa and looked solid through three innings of work, allowing just one base runner each inning.

A one-out double off the bat of Gabriel Maciel and a passed ball put the Miners in position to strike first. With two gone in the fourth, Mahki Backstrom drove in the run on an infield single to make it 1-0.

Rain began to come down in the fifth, and Puccetti started to struggle. A double and a walk put runners on, and a sacrifice bunt advanced both into scoring position.

Another ball got past catcher Michael Fuhrman to make it 2-0, and Evan Berkey singled to right field, driving in another and ending Puccetti's day.

One more run came in to extend the Miners' lead to 4-0.

Puccetti ended the day going four and two-thirds innings, allowing four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five.

Tristan Harley (win, 2-1) got the ball for the Miners and looked dominant. He tossed five and one-third innings, allowing just three hits, walking one, while striking out six.

AJ Wright picked up a single, and Myles Smith went 2-for-2 in the rain-shortened match.
