There's no place like home for Jackson, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Friday. They walked away with a 6-1 victory over the Michigan Center Cardinals on Saturday. This was payback for the Vikings, who suffered a 9-3 loss the last time these two teams met.
Joey Ortiz made a splash while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits. Ortiz was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run.
Ortiz wasn't the only one making solid contact as eight players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Khalid Shakoor, who went 1-for-2 with one run, one double, and one RBI.
Jackson was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Michigan Center only posted a batting average of .222.
Jackson's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-2.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Michigan Center beat the Vikings by a score of 15-4 later that day.
