Jackfish one win from pennant

LONDON – Welland's magic number is one after a 6-1 win Monday night in London.  

The Jackfish (27-10) can clinch the regular season pennant Thursday with a win at home against Brantford, or a Majors’ loss in Kitchener.  

Thomas Green led the Jackfish offence on Monday with a two-run home run, his first longball of the season. Greyson Barrett singled, doubled and drove in a run, Gianfranco Morello had two hits, and Matteo Porcellato and Brandon Hupe each had an RBI.  

Welland starting pitcher Jose Dominguez (5-3) went five innings and allowed a run on two hits with two walks and six punchouts.  

Kyle Maves had two hits and two steals for second-place London (22-15), which is five games back of Welland. Francisco Fajardo had a hit and two steals.  

Victor Payano (5-3) was tagged for six runs (five earned) on nine hits in seven frames. He walked one and fanned five.
