Jimtown had to skate by with only a one-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 12-run drubbing they dealt Bremen on Friday. The Jimmies put the hurt on the Lions with a sharp 16-4 victory. Considering the Jimmies have won seven contests by more than six runs this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Dalton Cook made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run while striking out six over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one walk in five consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base.

In other batting news, Broderic Kaler was a standout: he went 2-for-3 with three stolen bases, four runs, and one RBI. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Connor Christman was another key player, going 3-for-5 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Jimtown always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .553. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Bremen only posted an OBP of .227.

Jimtown's win was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 14-4. Those road victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.1 runs over those games. As for Bremen, they are on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 10-7.

Coming up, Jimtown will be playing at home against Fairfield at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Falcons will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something the Jimmies surely won't give up without a fight. As for Bremen, they will head out to face off against LaVille at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. The Lions' pitchers better be ready for this one: the Lancers have averaged an impressive 6.5 runs per game this season.
