Juan Francia drove in the Ducks only run with an RBI single in the second, part of a 2-for-4 night for the Ducks leadoff hitter. Four straight Camden batters struck in the sixth for RBI to overtake the Ducks and leapfrog to a 4-1 lead. Sheldon Fulse had the emphatic blow, a run-scoring double to left-center. Camden extended its lead to 5-1 on Shaun Boyd’s solo homer in the ninth inning.
