OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE


Québec City, QC - The Ottawa Titans (46-35) issued ten walks, with five of them coming in the second inning, in a 7-1 loss to the Québec Capitales (56-36) on Friday - seeing their four-game win streak end.


After a scoreless first, things fell apart for the Titans in the second inning - as Scott Prins (loss, 3-4) walked the first two of the inning before a hit batter loaded the bases with nobody out. Guillermo Garcia ripped an RBI single up the middle to break the tie - seeing the Titans go to the bullpen.


Working in bulk for his second relief appearance of the season - Tyler Jandron inherited the bases loaded, seeing two walks score a pair of runs before a sac fly made it 4-0 after two.


As for the offence, Abdiel Saldaña (win, 8-2) was in cruise control - seeing two runners left on in the first, second, and fourth innings to keep the Capitales in front.


After a leadoff homer from Kyle Crowl in the fifth - Jandron gave the Titans five innings out of the bullpen, allowing just one run of his own on two hits, walking three, and striking out a season-high eight.


The Titans left nine runners on in the contest - including the bases loaded in the sixth inning. Striking out 13 times - six of the punchouts came with runners in scoring position.


Taylor Wright broke the goose egg with his career-high-tying ninth homer of the year in the eighth inning, getting the Titans on the board.


Aaron Casillas had a single while going 1-for-4 to extend his hit streak to nine, while Jamey Smart saw his 22-game on-base streak come to an end.


Overall, the Titans have lost 11 in a row to the Capitales, and have dropped the season series with the series-opening defeat.
