OFFICIAL FRONTIER LEAGUE BOX SCORE
Augusta, NJ - An eight-run top of the first inning helped the Ottawa Titans (39-34) to an 8-4 victory over the Sussex County Miners (39-33) on Wednesday night, winning their fifth in a row.
Facing right-hander Jack Dellinger (loss, 1-2), the Titans sent 12 to the plate and tallied eight runs on seven hits. Jamey Smart and Sicnarf Loopstok each knocked in one to put the Titans up five batters in. Later, Jake Sanford drove home two with a single to centre to extend the lead. With the bases juiced once again, Taylor Wright walked in a run before AJ Wright's sac fly finished off the scoring.
Damon Casetta-Stubbs (win, 5-3) took an inning to settle in, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits. Oraj Anu and Gavin Stupienski got the Miners on the board to end a wild first.
