Ottawa, ON – It was another electric performance from Miners ace Rob Hensey, who fanned 11 Titans in tonight’s 9-4 victory to complete the sweep. The Miners have now swept the Ottawa Titans twice at Ottawa Stadium this season.
Hensey (4-1, 2.95 ERA), had his best start of 2025, going 7.2 innings with only two earned runs to earn his fourth win of the year. Coming off of Tommy John a year ago, it was another encouraging step for the former Monmouth standout.
“I’m finally getting comfortable after these last two starts,” Hensey detailed postgame.
But it wasn’t just the pitching that held it down for the Miners today. The offense was able to get going late, tallying five runs in the ninth inning off of two Ottawa errors and a three-run home run from Sean Roby Jr., giving them all the insurance they needed. It was Roby Jr.’s team-leading seventh homer of the year.
With the win, Sussex County improves to 26-10, the second best record in the Frontier League. The Miners trail only the Québec Capitales, whom they will play this weekend from June 20-22. This is Sussex County’s second matchup against the defending champs this season. Listen live on scminers.mixlr.com or watch live on frontierleaguetv.com.
For Ottawa, this marks their fourth straight loss as they drop to 11-24. They will travel to Pomona, NY, this weekend to take on the New York Boulders.
