Jag Baseball Falls to Indians
6/15 @ Pocahontas 4-9 (5-7)(3-2)
A tough first game of the week saw the Jags fall to potential conference leader Indians of Pocahontas. The Jags kept it tight early scoring Casey Hanson in the first inning and again in the second off singles from the Junior. He would Hane himself a day going 3-3 with an intentional walk. Kolton Ollinger would score Casey one of those times on a sac fly to center. Kolton would also single in the last inning. Mason Bahr would single along with Karson Roper. Dawson Tuel would round out hits as the Jags put the ball in play but Indians made the majority of the plays to secure the win. Karson Roper took the mound for the Jags and threw admirably. Roper has gone against the Titans of the conference now in back to back outings. A difficult task but Roper allowing some runs early would settle in a bit later in the game. Ryan Stewart would come in and throw really well the final two innings. Striking out three batters and getting a big 5-3 play to end the 5th inning with bases loaded. Indians are a good team and the Jags will look to regroup and get back in the win column with three more games this week.
JV Action: 8-4 W
Down early the JV team would come back for a convincing 8-4 win. Ayden Bintz would pick up the win throwing all five innings before time was called. Ayden would give up five hits, striking out six batters and settling in after giving up three runs in the first.
Offensively the Jags would walk eight times with Ethan Martin and Tucker Ollinger doing some damage. Ethan would double while Tucker would single twice. Scoring two runners on his first single. Not to be outdone August Akins would single twice driving in a runner himself.
The Jags would capitalize on the walks to secure the victory. Leaving them undefeated on the season midway through.
