Bears defeat Hoban 9-5 in 6 innings
Jackson was able to outscore the Knights of Archbishop Hoban 9-5 in a shortened 6 inning game (due to darkness and weather). The Bears struck first in the top half 1st inning scoring Nick Zito on Carter Mottice's RBI double. Garrett Wright followed with a RBI ground out to score Mottice to give the Bears the early 2-0 lead. Starter Griffin Cochran was relieved in the 3rd by Landon Doll who went 3 innings and limited the damage of some free base runners. The Bears tied the game in the 4th (5-5) with RBI singles from Layne Keller and Hogan Sedlock. In the top of the 5th the Bears took the lead for good with a two hit from Eric Freetage and later scores on a Carson Pastorius 0-2 RBI single. Top of the 6th inning Jackson extends their lead as leadoff hitter Hogan Sedlock singles, Kyle Andrews walks and Carter Mottice 1B loads the bases. Garrett Wright and Eric Freetage both have RBI walks and Kyle Benson with a RBI ground out to end the scoring for the Bears. Final line score/stats: 9 Runs 10 Hits, 4 Errors and 8 Left on base and Landon Doll picked up his first varsity win on the season out of the pen.
