JACKALS AT A GLANCE: After back-to-back 5-0 wins over the Worcester Tornadoes on Friday and Saturday, Sunday’s series finale was rained out. Because of the rainout, New Jersey will now play 93 games instead of the originally-scheduled 94. The Jackals have won four of their last five contests and, with a win today, will move 13 games above .500 for the first time this season. In two games against Worcester this weekend, New Jersey pitchers tossed 18 shutout innings without issuing a walk. With 43 wins, the Jackals have already eclipsed last season’s win total (42) with 19 games still remaining in the regular season. THE MEN ON THE MOUND: New Jersey sends 24-yearold right-hander Shaun Ellis to the mound tonight for his 10th start of the season since being re-acquired from the El Paso Diablos on June 6. Ellis, a Philadelphia native who made three appearances with the Jackals late last season, has turned in a 2.57 ERA over his last five starts. The Federals counter with 24-year-old right-hander James Kukucka, who spent parts of the past two seasons with the Quebec Capitales. In three starts against the Jackals this season, Kukucka is 2-1 with a 5.60 ERA.

THE CATALYST: During New Jersey’s most recent sevengame road trip (August 5-11), outfielder Sean Smith went 13-for-29 (.448) with 10 stolen bases and eight runs scored. Smith continued that success on Friday, going 4-for-5 in the series opener against Worcester. In 19 games since signing with the Jackals on July 25, the former Rockland Boulder is batting .338 and is a perfect 14-for-14 in stolen base attempts.
Leading after 7.................................... 38-3 Tied after 7............................................ 2-1 Trailing after 7..................................... 3-27
THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Jackals boast a 27-14 record in Little Falls and are batting 54 points higher at home (.309) than on the road (.255).

WHAT A RELIEF: New Jersey relievers have successfully converted 18 of 20 (90%) save opportunities this season. Last year, the Jackals converted just 22 of 29 save chances (76%). Four different Jackals’ relievers have saved games in 2011.

ALUMNI UPDATE: Raul Valdes was designated for assignment by the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday to make room on the 40-man roster following the signing of 20-year MLB veteran Arthur Rhodes. Valdes, who pitched for the Jackals in 2006, made seven appearances for St. Louis this season.
All-Time Franchise Record............. 664-579
FEDERAL FACTS: The Federals, who will play all 94 games on the road, are comprised of the most talented players in the New York State League, a league that serves as the official developmental league of the Can-Am League. The Federals roster is made up of mostly rookies, but they do have a few notable veterans including first baseman Eddie Lantigua and catcher Sandy DeLeon. Lantigua spent nine seasons with the Quebec Capitales where he hit 126 home runs before retiring in 2009. The Federals mark DeLeon’s 13th different team over a 10-year career. Through 75 games, the Federals have utilized a league-high 71 players. JACKAL BITES: Reliever Jared Locke celebrated his 27th birthday on Sunday... Over his first 10 games with the Jackals, D’Angelo Jimenez is batting .412 (7-for-17) with runners in scoring position... With 34 appearances, Locke and Steven Fox are tied for the league lead... Myron Leslie leads the league in walks (51) and on-base percentage (.450) and ranks sixth in batting average (.336) TODAY IN JACKALS HISTORY: On August 16, 2008, Zach Smithlin’s inside-the-park home run helps New Jersey down Atlantic City, 8-0, in front of over 3,800 fans at Yogi Berra Stadium. The round-tripper is just the second of Smithlin’s career and his first since 2005.

NEW JERSEY’S LAST CONTEST PAVLIK LEADS JACKALS TO SECOND STRAIGHT SHUTOUT AGAINST WORCESTER - Saturday, August 13 recap Little Falls, N.J. – For the second straight night, the New Jersey Jackals (43-31 overall, 16-11 second half) blanked the Worcester Tornadoes (38-34, 17-8) en route to a 5-0 win on a soggy Saturday night at Yogi Berra Stadium. Isaac Pavlik (11-3) tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just six hits and striking out five without walking a batter to earn the win. Kevin Cooper (5-3) made it through just 3 2/3 innings, surrendering three runs on seven hits to suffer the loss. Reliever Jared Locke turned in scoreless eighth and ninth innings to preserve the shutout. The Jackals plated the game’s first three runs in the bottom of the third inning. Jordan Newton singled to lead off before Nick Santomauro singled on a perfectly-executed hit-and-run to put runners on the corners. After a groundout and a Mike DeJesus walk loaded the bases, D’Angelo Jimenez drove in Newton with a single to give New Jersey a lead. Later in the inning with two outs, Kris Sanchez ripped a double to left-center field to drive in Santomauro and DeJesus to propel the Jackals to a 3-0 advantage. The Jackals tacked on another run in the bottom of the sixth when Mike Jones led off with a double and later came around to score on a sacrifice fly by Sean Smith. New Jersey closed the scoring in the eighth inning, when Newton doubled and later came around to score on a bases-loaded walk to Jimenez to make it 5-0. In the10-hit attack, Sanchez went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs and Jimenez was 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs. JACKAL BITES: There was a 48 minute rain delay in between the 5th and 6th innings… In the first two games of the series, Jackals’ pitching has yet to issue a walk… The win marked the 12th time this season New Jersey has shut out its opponent… The Jackals are now 12 games over .500, matching their season high.
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 league-leading 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 (.306-2-29 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. The Jackals have sold 25 players to affiliated organizations since 2006. 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.

TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY 1996 - The Padres and Mets play the first regular season major league game ever played in Mexico, and it isn’t pretty. The Padres take a big lead in support of Mexican native and starting pitcher Fernando Valenzuela, but the Mets close the gap with seven runs in the ninth inning in a 15-10 Padres triumph. The series is moved from San Diego because of a perceived conflict with the Republican National Convention. The Padres take two of three games in “La Primera Serie” in Monterrey, Mexico.
