SETTING THE SCENE: After dropping three of four games at Pittsfield over the weekend, the Jackals head to Quebec looking to get back on track. MOVIN’ ON UP: During an eight-day stretch from July 25 through August 2, the Jackals sold three players to affiliated organizations. On July 25, outfielder Leonard Davis (.317-9-36 w/ a leagueleading 18 doubles in 52 games) had his contract purchased by the Washington Nationals and was sent to Double-A Harrisburg. On August 31, second baseman and leadoff hitter Argenis Reyes (.306-229 w/ 12 steals in 60 games) was sold to Cleveland and assigned to Triple-A Columbus. On August 2, three-time Can-Am League Pitcher of the Week and July Pitcher of the Month James Leverton (8-4, 2.38 ERA in 13 starts) was sold to the Florida Marlins and assigned to the Single-A Greensboro Grasshoppers. JACKALS INK JIMENEZ: The Jackals wasted little time filling their vacancy at second base after they sold Argenis Reyes to the Indians, inking eightyear major league veteran D’Angelo Jimenez to a contract on August 3. Jimenez, who has batted .263 over 641 major league games with seven different teams, is 5-for-18 in his first five contests with New Jersey with all five hits having driven in runs. The 33-year-old Dominican native currently resides in West New York, N.J. KEEPING QUEBEC IN CHECK: The Quebec Capitales are 47-20, but six of those losses have come against the Jackals, who are the only Can-Am League team with a winning record against the first-half champions. Only one other team, Brockton (5-5) has a .500 record against the Capitales. SEAN SMITH: In New Jersey’s most recent fourgame series at Pittsfield, Sean Smith went 8-for-16 with six stolen bases. Smith tied a Can-Am League hits record on Sunday afternoon, going 5-for-6 with three runs scored. On Monday, he swiped three bases.
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Jackals boast a 25-14 record at Yogi Berra Stadium and are batting 52 points higher at home (.307) than on the road (.255). Nick Santomauro is batting .436 (17-for39) at Yogi Berra Stadium. Chris White is batting 148 points higher at home (.286) than on the road (.138) and has collected 19 of his 22 RBIs and all three of his home runs in Little Falls. CUTTING IT CLOSE: 16 of the Jackals’ 22 games in the second half have been decided by three runs or less.

NEW JERSEY’S LAST CONTEST COLONIALS STRIKE EARLY AND OFTEN TO TAKE SERIES FINALE AT WAHCONAH PARK - Monday, August 8 recap Pittsfield, Mass. – Colonials’ starter Chad Paronto tossed seven solid innings and got plenty of run support as the New Jersey Jackals fell to Pittsfield, 11-3, on Monday night at Wahconah Park. With Can-Am League wins and ERA leader Isaac Pavlik (10-3) on the mound, the Colonials jumped out to an 8-0 lead, chasing the Jackals’ ace after five innings. Meanwhile, Paronto (7-5) allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits over seven innings, firing 125 pitches en route to picking up the win. Trailing 8-0, the Jackals broke through in the top of the sixth inning when Sean Smith bunted his way on to start the inning and scored two batters later when D’Angelo Jimenez stroked a double into the gap in left center. The next inning, New Jersey pushed a pair of runs across to cut their deficit to 8-3 when Jordan Newton and Chris White reached on back-to-back one-out singles and later came around to score following a two-out error by Pittsfield shortstop Danny Bomback, which extended the inning. After New Jersey reliever Cody Railsback turned in a pair of scoreless innings, Pittsfield capped the scoring with three runs in the bottom of the eighth with Mike Petrowski on the hill. In the losing effort, Smith went 1-for-3 with a run scored and three stolen bases while Mike DeJesus knocked in a run in the seventh inning. JACKAL BITES: The Jackals stranded 41 runners on base in the series as they fell to 6-8 against the Colonials this season and 12-22 against Pittsfield alltime.
BIG FISH: On August 1, southpaw James Leverton had his contract purchased by the Florida Marlins. Leverton heads to the Single-A Greensboro Grasshoppers. Leverton, a three-time Can-Am League Pitcher of the Week and the July Pitcher of the Month, was 8-4 with a 2.38 ERA in 13 starts. REYES SOLD TO CLEVELAND: On July 31, the Jackals sold the contract of 2B Argenis Reyes to the Cleveland Indians. The 28-year-old was assigned to the Triple-A Columbus Clippers, where he finished the 2010 season. In 60 games with New Jersey this season, Reyes batted .306 with 12 stolen bases while serving as the Jackals’ primary leadoff hitter. Reyes, who spent parts of the 2008 and 2009 seasons at the major league level with the New York Mets, previously had his contract sold by the Jackals last July when the Boston Red Sox sent him to Triple-A Pawtucket before trading him to the Indians in early August. In 30 Triple-A contests in 2010, Reyes batted .303. NATIONAL TREASURE: On July 25, the Jackals sold the contract of outfielder Leonard Davis to the Washington Nationals organization. Davis reported to Double-A Harrisburg, where he spent parts of each of the past three seasons. Through 52 games with the Jackals this season, Davis batted .317 with 36 RBIs and a team-leading nine home runs. WE’RE GOING STREAKING: During their season-long eight-game winning streak, which ended on June 29, the Jackals outscored their opponents 48-20. In those eight games, New Jersey starting pitchers allowed just 11 earned runs in 53.2 innings, good for a 1.84 ERA. The Jackals’ longest winning streak last season was six games (July 22-28) when they swept a pair of three-game sets against Sussex and Brockton. MR. 400: Manager Joe Calfapietra collected his 400th regular-season win with the Jackals on June 20 in game two of a doubleheader against the New York Federals. Calfapietra entered the season with 386. 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 at Provident Bank Park. FOLLOW THE LEADER: 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. OPENING ACT: After their 8-4 win at Pittsfield on Thursday, May 26, New Jersey is 11-3 (.786) all-time 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. SPRING FLING: 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 right-hander 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.

WINNING WAYS: Moore notched three wins in his first four appearances with New Jersey. He earned the win in his Jackals’ debut on July 20 vs Rockland, allowing one run over two innings of relief before New Jersey rallied for 10 runs in the eighth inning to erase a 10-1 deficit. Through July, Moore is 14-8 in his career. LAKE EFFECT: Moore began the 2011 season with the North American League’s Lake County Fielders (Zion, Ill.,), but was granted free agency on July 13 after Lake County reportedly missed payroll, released 14 players, and traded nine others.

With Lake County, Moore was 2-2 with a 3.48 ERA in seven games (five starts), allowing 28 hits in 31 innings while walking 18 batters, striking out 16, and holding opponents to a .200 average. The North American League is a combination of the former Northern, United, and Golden leagues and its footprint stretches from Edmonton to Hawaii to Texas to Illinois.

TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY AUGUST 9 1976 - John Candelaria became the first Pirate pitcher in 69 years to throw a no-hitter in Pittsburgh by blanking the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0. Nick Maddox pitched the first Pirate no-hitter at Pittsburgh in 1907. Candelaria’s no-hitter came at Three Rivers Stadium. No Pirate ever threw a no-hitter at Forbes Field. AUGUST 10 1904 - Jack Chesbro is knocked out by the White Sox after pitching 30 complete games in a row. For the year he will win 41 games, pitching 48 complete games out of 51 starts for the New York Highlanders. All are post-1900 records. AUGUST 11 1986 - Cincinnati player-manager Pete Rose singled four times and doubled to set a National League record with the 10th five-hit game of his career. The 45-year-old Rose drove in three runs in a 13-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants, to move one ahead of Max Carey for the record.
