It took a passed ball in the third set for Jonathan Lacroix to give victory to the two-time defending champions. Patrick Scalabrini’s men have at the same time come within half a match of the lead in the Eastern division of the Frontier League 48 hours before the passage of the New York Boulders, the leaders until now.
“It’s great baseball, it’s a team victory,” said the big boss of the Quebec club after the match. We used five launchers and if only one didn’t do its job, we were in trouble.
“It’s satisfying to see that we played well.”
—Patrick Scalabrini
The frustration of the Miners
Manager Chris Widger’s visitors had several reasons to leave the Canac Stadium field looking like a fool, after screwing up two situations with the bases loaded, while the 2,926 fans stood applauding the flawless performance of their reliever, Frank Moscatiello. .
“Early in the season, it’s certain that we would have lost it,” analyzes the manager about this close victory. Franky has been the man for special occasions for three years, so this is nothing new. I was more stressed without a runner on base in the ninth than the bases loaded with him on the mound.”
“It’s almost easy for him!”
—Patrick Scalabrini
The Capitals’ trusted man was once again stingy with offerings, in addition to retiring two Miners batters on three strikes, galvanizing the spectators as he has done so often in recent years.
“We’ve scored so many points over the past month that it’s nice to come and support them in my turn,” reacted one of the favorites of the regulars at the Victoria Park stadium. It might be easier to throw with a big lead, but there’s nothing that beats that kind of moment with atmosphere.”
The expected Boulders
The start of the series against the Boulders is expected in the locker room. New York will arrive in Quebec rather rested after having benefited from three days of rest due to events organized at Clover Stadium. “We are in a good situation, we are ready for them,” believes Patrick Scalabrini.
The three clashes against New York will represent the biggest series that the Capitals will have to play since the start of the season, believes Frank Moscatiello. “They have a good team, they have been first since the start of the season,” he analyzes.
“They are playing well and I know they are going to come here with the idea of winning.”

Ryan Sandberg (5 hits in 4.1 innings) wasn’t his usual fit due to a virus. His condition caused concern to the point of wondering if he could pitch. “He was coughing like crazy between innings,” Scalabrini said. “He fought well, he did well, but we knew he wouldn’t pitch six innings.”
A new launcher is coming
Jackson Sigman’s adventure is over in Quebec. The club manager told him he was releasing him last night. Another former Empire State Grays, Nick Trabacchi, comes in as reinforcement.
“He’s a guy who throws really hard, he’s got a good arm. He was a starter this year in the Atlantic, we want him as a guy who comes in relief for one round. “It’s going to be an interesting addition to the bullpen, but we’re not expecting a savior.”
