Jersey Shore re-gained the lead in the bottom of the sixth with a run against Tony Rossi courtesy of a Zach Arnold RBI single, and tacked on two more in the seventh off Byrce Warrecker to build a 4-1 lead.
Saul Teran and Andrew Baker combined to retire the final six batters of the game to close out the win for the BlueClaws.
