The first game of the week started with the conference foe Pocahontas traveling to Jaguar Field for a non conference matchup. The Jags got off to a hot start scoring five runs in the first inning but Pocahontas came right back the next inning to recapture the lead by a run. The rest of the game was close all the way up to the last inning but the Jaguars fell short. Hane Sorenson had a huge hit a homerun that cleared the fence in the sixth inning but only brought them within one run of the Indians before the final out. Along with his homerun Hane finished going 2-4 while a slew of Jaguars added a hit a piece. Tyler Jondle, Gauge Jones and Cale VanSickle all finished with singles. Freshmen Karson Roper and Mason Bahr would both finish with a double a piece. Mason’s double being a big one that allowed three runners to score. Hane Sorenson would also finish the night with three Runners batted in. On the mound Lenix Allbee started and gave the ball to Karson Roper in the second inning. Karson would pitch three and a third innings while striking out four batters and allowing three earned runs. Cale Van Sickle was impressive on the mound finishing the game with two innings allowing one hit but no scored runs. A close game which was hindered by walks and hit batters but the Jaguars showed some fight and grit in the close loss

JV ACTION 3-7 L (9-4-1)

A slow start was enough for the Indians to take the JV contest. Indians would get off to a 7-0

lead before the Jags would score three runs in the fifth inning. A trio of pitchers was on the

mound for the Jags. Evan Bintz would start, followed by Lincoln Akins and Nick Field. All threw decent but some errors and walks allowed some runs. Plus a lot of the players were also their varsity squad so competition was good. The two hits of the evening was from Nick Field, a double which scored Karson Roper who reached on an error. Nick and Kolton Ollinger would score after Evan Bintz would hit a double scoring both runners and ending the inning with the three run mercy rule.
