YESTERDAY’S CONTEST: The New Jersey Jackals recorded a season-high in runs in a 15-7 win over the New York Federals in a slugfest on a soggy Thursday night at Yogi Berra Stadium. In the win, in which every Jackals’ starter recorded a hit, Nick Giarraputo and Chris White each collected three hits while White drove in four runs. TODAY’S TRANSACTIONS: Prior to today’s seriesopener at Brockton, the Jackals re-signed outfielder Jordan Newton and purchased RHP Mike Petrowski from the New York Federals. Newton batted a teambest .364 as New Jersey’s starting catcher last season prior to having his contract purchased by the Pirates on July 3, where he proceeded hit .331 in 39 games with Advanced-A Bradenton. Petrowski, a 24-yearold rookie out of Rider University, currently ranks third in the Can-Am League with a 2.05 ERA in five games (three starts). JACKAL BITES: In their recent series against the Federals, New Jersey outscored New York 35-15 en route to taking four of five games... The Jackals, who have won eight of their last 10 games, are in the middle of a stretch where they will play 25 games in 24 days... The Jackals have allowed a firstinning run in 16 of 28 games this season, but are 10-0 when scoring a run in the first frame and 10-1 when scoring first... Nick Giarraputo has been hit by a league-high seven pitches but has yet to draw a walk... Giarraputo has strung together four consecutive multi-hit games... The Jackals have only been caught stealing four times in 30 attempts, good for the best success rate in the league at 87%... The Jackals are batting a league-best .304 with runners in scoring position with Can-Am League RBI leader Mike Jones swinging the bat at a team-best .429 clip with RISP... As a leadoff batter, Argenis Reyes is batting .387... Chris White is batting .333 at home but is just 3-for-30 away from Yogi Berra Stadium... Last season against Brockton, Jordan Newton batted .438 (14-for-32) and drove in 14 runs in eight contests while Mike DeJesus hit .396 as New Jersey went 10-7 against the Rox.
WHAT A RELIEF: The New Jersey bullpen has strung together 9.1 consecutive scoreless innings and hasn’t allowed a run since Saturday, June 18 when Rockland’s Ryan Mollica hit a walk-off home run. In their recent five-game series against the New York Federals, the Jackals’ bullpen hurled 7.1 shutout innings. Earlier this season, the bullpen turned in another pair of impressive stretches this season as well. From June 13-18, Jackals’ relievers surrendered just one earned run over 15 innings. Between June 3-7, New Jersey’s bullpen went 13.1 consecutive scoreless frames and allowed just two hits over that stretch. Excluding the first three games of the season, the Jackals’ bullpen has a 2.76 ERA.

NEW JERSEY’S LAST CONTEST JACKALS CRUSH FEDERALS BEHIND SEASON-HIGH 15 RUNS Thursday, June 23 Recap
Little Falls, N.J. – The New Jersey Jackals recorded a season-high in runs in a 15-7 win over the New York Federals in a slugfest on a soggy night at Yogi Berra Stadium. The Jackals plated five two-out runs in the first inning, highlighted by a two-RBI single by Chris White. The Federals infield then committed two errors in the second inning that led to two unearned runs. New York countered with two unearned runs of their own as Kyle Obal reached on an error to lead off the third inning. The error came back to hurt New Jersey as Eddie Lantigua and Alex Bardeguez had back-to-back RBI singles to cut the lead to five. The Jackals then answered with six unanswered runs after they plated an unearned run in the third and exploded for their second five running inning of the night in the fourth. In that inning, seven different Jackals recorded a hit as the team batted around for the second time. After the first scoreless inning of the night in the fifth, it was the Federals turn to erupt as they scored five runs in the top of the sixth with the big blow coming off the bat of Jacob Fabry who hit a three-run home run. New Jersey added a single run in the seventh as White notched his fourth RBI of the game on a hit by pitch, and then in the eighth Myron Leslie drilled his second double of the night to drive in Mike DeJesus. The Jackals return to action on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. as they hit the road to take on the Brockton Rox, as it will be the first meeting between the teams in 2011. Shaun Ellis (2-0, 5.56 ERA) is the probable for New Jersey and Freddy Flores (2-0, 4.11 ERA) gets the ball for the Rox. Cody Chrusciel has the call on the live webcast, beginning 10 minutes prior to first pitch at www.jackals.com. Jackal Bites: Every Jackal in the starting lineup had at least one hit, while six players had a multi-hit game… Nick Giarraputo chipped in three hits for his fourth consecutive multi-hit game… With two walks, Leslie now leads the circuit with 23… Six different players contributed at least one RBI… The six strikeouts were a career-high for Vasami… Five of the first 10 runs in the game were unearned.

ALUMNI UPDATE: Since moving to the bullpen for the Triple-A Memphis Redbirds (Cardinals) in midMay, Raul Valdes is 3-0 with a 0.55 ERA and has allowed just six hits in 16.1 innings with 16 strikeouts and one walk... John Lindsey is batting .333 in the month of June for the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes (Dodgers)... Shawn Riggans, who hasn’t played for the Double-A Huntsville Stars (Brewers) since April 21, is on a rehab assignment in the Arizona League. POWER SURGE: The Jackals tied a franchise record when they launched five home runs in a 10-4 win at Rockland on June 19. Mike Jones and Jeremy Slayden each homered twice while Leonard Davis also left the yard. Twice before in franchise history had the Jackals tallied five home runs in one game: July 18, 1998 at Adirondack and July 28, 1999 at Massachusetts. New Jersey homered 10 times in the three-game series. FLYING EAST: When the Augusta, N.J.-based Sussex Skyhawks announced they would not be operating in 2011 this past winter, several former Skyhawks made their way to the New Jersey Jackals. Ed Ott, who managed the Skyhawks in 2010, returned to the Jackals, where he served as a coach from 2007-09. Players migrating from Augusta to Little Falls include reliever Jared Locke, and infielders Kris Sanchez and Nick Giarraputo. The Skyhawks were owned by Floyd Hall Enterprises, which also owns the Jackals. WELCOME BACK RAMON: Former Jackals infielder Ramon Nivar has joined the Jackals coaching staff. Nivar, a veteran of 10 professional seasons, was in spring training with the Newark Bears this past May before announcing his retirement. The 31-year-old spent parts of three seasons (2003-05) in the majors with the Orioles and Rangers and played 23 games for New Jersey in 2008. OPENING ACT: After their 8-4 win at Pittsfield on Thursday, May 26, New Jersey is 11-3 (.786) alltime on opening day. The Jackals have now won their season opener nine times in the past 10 seasons, with the lone loss during that span coming last year. The Jackals also won their fourth straight home opener on May 31 when they downed Newark 7-6. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER: The Jackals added a pair of potential impact players late in spring training. Outfielder Leonard Davis, who hit 20 home runs between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse last season, signed on May 20. Myron Leslie, a 2009 Can-Am League All-Star with the Jackals, re-signed on May 24 after spending the past year in the Yankees’ organization. FORMER JACKALS IN SPRING TRAINING: In addition to Oakland A’s reliever Craig Breslow (with New Jersey in 2004), who is currently in his sixth major league season, several former Jackals appeared in major league spring training games. 6-foot-7 righthander Stuart Pomeranz (2009) posted a 3.86 ERA in three relief appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Southpaw Raul Valdes (2006) appeared in seven games (one start) for the St. Louis Cardinals. First baseman John Lindsey (2005-06) went 1-for-4 for the Dodgers. Righty Jon Hunton (2007) made one relief appearances for the A’s.
