Tailgators Drop Canadiens, 12-9, with Late Score
Runs were plentiful at Oilers Ballpark.

The Chesapeake Tailgators outscored the Montreal Canadiens, 12-9. Among the hitting stars was shortstop R.J. DeStefano. DeStefano went 2 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Joey Russak picked up the win in relief. Jeremy Davila took the loss for Montreal. Picking up the save was Rick Gregg. He's now 3 for 3 in save chances.

Chesapeake needed the clutch hitting of Chris Broadley to seal the deal. The second baseman swatted a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Tailgators on top, 12-9. For the game, Broadley had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," DeStefano told the Chesapeake News.

The win lifted the Chesapeake record to 41-35.
