In what was the final home game of the season for the Edmonton Capitals, they struggled as they lost to the Victoria Seals 7-3.
Victoria was all over Capitals starting Pitcher Daryl Arreola, who was pitching against his brother Andrew Arreola who was the starting pitcher for the Seals. Victoria ended up scoring four runs in the second inning and the Capitals never recovered from that.
The Seals would go on to add another run in the third inning and two more in the fifth. The Capitals would also score two runs in the bottom half of the fifth. The Capitals would go on to score one more run in the 8th but their hitting just couldn't get it going against the Seals pitching staff as they only managed six hits during the game.
The Capitals will now finish off their season playing their last two games in Victoria tonight and then on Saturday against the Seals. (mp)

"I've got to date myself -- I'm a child of the 80's, so all I remember is one cup after another," said Michaels, after being introduced as the team's new broadcaster on 630 CHED Tuesday morning.
"It kind of kicked in when I flew down here to interview. 'I'm going to interview for the play-by-play job for the Edmonton Oilers.' This is all I saw growing up."
