Le Mars extended their losing streak (dating back to last season) to six on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 0-5 in the process. They came up short against the Jefferson Yellowjackets, falling 7-1. The Bulldogs were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Yellowjackets apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in June of 2024.
Jefferson's first victory this season bumped their record up to 1-7. Their hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.
For Jefferson's part, Aiden Moore spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits. Moore has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in three consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Jefferson let Garrett Denman and Kendall Bell run wild. Denman went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI, while Bell went 1-for-2 with two runs and one RBI. That's the most runs Bell has posted since back in June of 2024. Peyton Steinspring also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Le Mars beat Jefferson by a score of 8-6 later that day.
