QUEBEC, P.Q., Que. — Stephen Holdren spanked a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh and P.J. Zocchi slammed the door shut in the ninth for his record-setting 23rd save as the Saltdogs (40-57) topped the Quebec Capitales (64-33) 6-5 at Stade Municipal Friday night.

With the ‘Dogs trailing 5-2 in the top of the seventh, Jimmy Rohan walked to load the bases. Holdren then fell behind in the count 1-2 before clubbing his second grand slam of the season, an impressive drive to right to push Lincoln in front.

Conor Spink (W, 1-1) and Pete Parise combined for 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief to bridge the gap to Zocchi.

After Rene Leveret singled to begin the bottom of the ninth, Matt Forgatch made a brilliant head-first diving catch on a Josue Peley line drive and then doubled off the runner from first.

Forgatch also went 3-for-4 at the plate with two doubles, a triple, a walk, two runs and a stolen base.

Zocchi surpassed Chris Weidert’s previous club record of 22 saves from the 2001 campaign.
