Jamestown is 0-10 against York since March of 2019 but things could change on Monday. The Eagles will square off against the Falcons at 5:00 p.m. Jamestown's pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so York's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Those four hits gave Thurman a new career-high. Kenlee Washington also deserves some recognition as she hit her first triple of the season.
