Winning always takes teamwork, but on Monday Gavin Jackson stepped things up a notch to give Providence the 'W'. Jackson turned in his biggest game of the season, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and only one walk).
Looking ahead, Jackson and Providence will look to defend their home field on Friday against Charlestown at 6:00 p.m. The Pioneers got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Pirates thanks in part to Jackson: he went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, five RBI, and two runs. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other baseball content.
