JACKAL BITESA win tonight against Brockton would give New Jersey its second four-game winning streak of the season... The Jackals have nine one-run victories this season, but they’ve also suffered nine one-run defeats... Just eight of New Jersey’s 37 home runs have come at home... The Jackals have committed just one error in their past four games... New Jersey’s relief corps has surrendered just two runs in eight innings over its past two contests...Edgar Estanga has appeared in 18 of 30 games since joining the Jackals on June 21, including 15 of the team’s last 21 contests... Abraham Nunez’s last 13 hits have been singles, with his last extra-base hit coming on July 6. Nunez leads the Can-Am League with 39 walks and he’s struck out just 23 times in 50 games... Kevin Clark has hit leadoff in each of New Jersey’s last 47 games.

RIGGED UPShawn Riggans, who returned from a nine-day stint on the DL on Saturday, is riding a 12-game hitting streak that began on June 29 and includes four multi-hit games. Riggans is batting .474 (18-for-38) with runners in scoring position, the second-highest mark in the Can-Am League for any player with more than 18 at-bats with RISP. Riggans is batting a team-best .400 against right-handed pitchers but is just 3-for-25 (.120) vs southpaws with two of his three hits against lefties coming against Mike Wlodarczyk.

BRUISED AND BATTEREDOver the first 52 games of the 2010 season, eight different New Jersey players have spent a total of 82 games on the disabled or inactive lists due to injury. Shawn Riggans has served two stints on the DL totaling 14 con-tests. Catcher Dean Forthun remained on the active roster while missing eight games earlier this month with a separated shoulder. Jackals currently on the DL or IL include pitcher A.J. Wideman, shortstop Mike DeJesus, and catcher Zane Chavez, who has missed the past 21 games with a broken hand. Jovan Rosa has also missed New Jersey’s past three contests with a quad injury. Outfielder Matt Stiffler injured his hamstring on June 4 and was released the next day because the Jackals disabled list was full.

TODAY’S PROBABLE STARTERSFOR NEW JERSEY: LHP Paul Fagan (1st start w/ New Jersey)FOR BROCKTON: LHP Mike Wlodarczyk (6-3, 3.74 ERA - 12th start)After sweeping the Sussex Skyhawks in a rain-shortened three-game series this weekend in Augusta, New Jersey sends newly-acquired southpaw Paul Fagan to the mound in Monday night’s series-opener against the Brockton Rox. Fagan, who began the 2010 season with the Newark Bears, was the 2009 independent Frontier League Pitcher of the Year after going 14-3 with a 2.70 ERA and leading the Lake Erie Crush-ers to a league championship. Fagan, 25, was drafted out of high school by the Se-attle Mariners in the fourth round in 2003. The Jacksonville, FL native is in his eighth professional season. When Fagan takes the mound on Monday night, it will mark the ninth time in their last 10 contests that the Jackals have started a left-hander. Brockton starter Mike Wlodarczyk faces the Jackals for the fourth time this season (2-0, 5.21 ERA vs New Jersey). Wlodarczyk, a 27-year-old from Medford, NJ who was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the seventh round of the 2005 draft out of Boston College, leads the Can-Am League with 69 strikeouts while his 3.74 ERA ranks sixth. New Jersey is 6-5 against Brockton in 2010.

2010 NEW J ER S EY J A CKA L S GAME NOTE SFIRST HALF RECAPThe Jackals finished the first half of the Can-Am League season with a 19-27 record, half a game ahead of the last-place Worcester Tornadoes. Through the first half, New Jersey’s .270 team average ranked fifth while its 5.36 ERA was the highest in the circuit. New Jersey catchers threw out 24.7% of attempted base stealers, just slightly behind the Pittsfield Colonials for the best mark in the league. The Jackals played just 46 games in the first half due to a rain out on July 14 vs Sussex.

DOUBLE THE FUNOn Saturday, June 19 against Quebec at Yogi Berra Stadium, the Jackals tied a Can-Am League single-game record when they turned five double plays. New Jersey recorded nine twin-killings in the three-game set.

LEAGUE-TESTED, JACKAL-APPROVEDThis offseason, New Jersey acquired pitchers Chris Allen and Ryan Lob-ban, giving the Jackals four of the Can-Am League’s top 10 ERA leaders from a season ago. A.J. Wideman, who led the league with a 2.51 ERA, and Isaac Pavlik, whose 3.66 ERA ranked ninth, both return. Lobban’s 3.56 mark with Worcester placed him seventh while Allen’s 3.71 clip for Que-bec qualified for 10th.

MAJOR LEAGUE FLAVORTwo current Jackals have spent time in the major leagues. Leading the pack is 34-year-old infielder Abraham Nunez, who spent 12 seasons in the majors with the Pirates, Cardinals, Phillies, and Mets. Designated hitter Shawn Riggans has spent time at the major league level each of the past four seasons, appearing in 64 games with the Tampa Bay Rays. Second baseman Argenis Reyes, who had his contract purchased by the Boston Red Sox on July 2, spent parts of the past two seasons patrolling the infield for the New York Mets.

2009: A RETROSPECTIVEDespite falling short of their goal of a Can-Am League title after being swept in the first round of the playoffs by the Worcester Tornadoes, the Jackals’ 2009 squad was one of the most successful in franchise history. In addition to taking the first-half title, New Jersey’s 55 wins were the most by a Jackals’ team since 2002. Consistency was also a big part of the Jackals’ success. As a team, New Jersey finished second in the league in both batting average (.283) and ERA (4.19), trailing Brockton in both categories. The Jackals were just one game better in the first half (28-19) than the second half (27-20) and saw a one-game difference in their record at home (27-20) and on the road (28-19). Jackals’ pitchers posted nine shutouts (five more than any other Can-Am League team) with A.J. Wideman serving as the starter for four of them (Quebec posted four shutouts while no other team had more than one). Conversely, Jackals’ pitchers were responsible for both of the league’s three-home run games (Sus-sex 3B Jeremy Hunt on 7/9 and Quebec DH Pete LaForest on 9/5). Perhaps the highlight of New Jersey’s 2009 campaign was its team-record 14-game winning streak, which began with a doubleheader sweep at Quebec on June 11 and ended with a loss to Worcester in game two of a doubleheader on June 25.

JOE CALFAPIETRAMANAGER - EIGHTH SEASON

The longest-tenured manager in the Can-Am League, 2010 marks Joe Calfapietra’s eighth season at the Jackals’ helm.

In 2009, Calfapietra was named the Can-Am League Manager of the Year after guiding the Jackals to the league’s first-half title and a playoff appearance. He also garnered Manager of the Year honors in 2004 when he led the Jackals to a Northeast League championship.

Calfapietra, 39, began his coaching career with the Northern League’s Duluth-Superior Dukes in 1994 before spending the 1995 and 1996 seasons with the Aberdeen Pheasants of the Prairie League. In 1997, Calfapietra joined manager Ed Ott’s coaching staff with the Allentown Ambassadors as Director of Baseball Operations. Calfapietra was named the Ambassadors manager in 2000 at the age of 29, making him the youngest manager in Northern League history. After posting an 85-90 managerial record in two seasons with the Ambassadors, Calfapietra left Allentown after five years to guide the expansion Gary SouthShore RailCats in their inaugural season in 2002. Calfapietra led Gary, which played its entire schedule on the road while waiting for its ballpark to be constructed, to a 35-55 team record and was named the Northern League Manager of the Year. Calfapi-etra joined the Jackals in 2003 and earned his second Manager of the Year award in 2004 when he guided New Jersey past the North Shore Spirit for the Northeast League title.

The Royersford, PA native played at Eastern College in Saint Davids, PA, where he was a two-time Division III All-American selection at first base. When he was not drafted out of college, Calfapietra turned to coaching and earned his Master’s Degree in Education. He has spent time collegiately as an assistant coach at Eastern College, a volunteer assistant at St. Joseph’s University, and as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator at Villanova University.
