The Capitals managed only six hits on the night thanks to Victoria pitcher Jeff Duda. Duda went six innings and only gave up a run thanks to an error by his infield in the fifth inning.

Cliff Brumbaugh returned to the Edmonton Capitals in a huge way on Tuesday night, blasting a pair of solo home runs to lead his team past the Victoria Seals 5-2 and start the final homestand of the 2010 regular season.
The heavy-hitting first baseman hadn't played since August. 17 versus the Tucson Toros, as he returned home to be with his wife for the birth of their third son. And oh baby, did he ever make his presence known upon his return, cranking two homers over the left field wall.
The longballs were his 20th and 21st of the year, as he leads the Golden Baseball League.(rp)

That seems like a world away from Edmonton, but make no mistake, he's well aware of the history of the "copper and blue."
"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."
