Landon Jones was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and only one walk).

The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.9 runs on average over those games. Duval Charter's win was their fourth straight at home dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 4-2.
Monday's game might come down to which pitcher can control the ball better. Duval Charter has hit smart this season, having averaged an OBP of .519.
