Jarquez Jordan put in work no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing 2.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Those zero hits allowed gave him a new career-low. He was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 1-for-1. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (two).
In other batting news, Amarion Robinson made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole a base while getting on base in two of his four plate appearances. That's the most runs he has posted since back in February. Emmanuel Culpatrick also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
Meanwhile, Jackson came tearing into Saturday's contest with six straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 10.7 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They put the hurt on the Lions with a sharp 17-1 win. Considering the Jaguars have won 13 matches by more than six runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.
The team relied heavily on Maceo White, who scored four runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-3. Another player making a difference was Tyler Dunn, who scored two runs while going 2-for-3.
Jackson kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 5.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 games they've averaged 10.
Jackson's victory was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 15-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 16.8 runs over those games. As for Mays, their loss dropped their record down to 5-11.
The pitchers for both teams better look sharp on Monday as neither team is afraid to steal. Mays has been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 6.8 stolen bases per game. However, it's not like Jackson struggles in that department as they've been averaging 5.3 stolen bases. The only question left is which team can snag more.
Mays might still be hurting after the 11-1 defeat they got from Jackson in their previous matchup back in April of 2024. Can Mays avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
