Cooper Jones turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday, striking out 11 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off five hits (and not a single walk). As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his third in a row with more than six innings. For the year, Jones has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 1.39 over 35.3 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.500/0.616/0.839 with 23 runs.
Jones and Wendell will head out on the road to challenge American Falls at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Wendell got just the result they wanted when they last faced American Falls, probably because Jones had a solid game then too: he got on base in all five of his plate appearances with a home run, four runs, and four RBI. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
