Grafton dropped down to 13-6 on Wednesday, ending the team's three-game streak of wins. They fell just short of the Jamestown Eagles by a score of 4-2. The Clippers were red-hot at the plate heading into the game (they scored no less than ten runs in the three contests prior), but the Eagles' pitchers proved too tough.

As for Jamestown, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they've won seven of their last eight matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.1 runs on average over those games.

For Jamestown's part, Tenley Medlin made a big impact while hitting and pitching. She struck out 12 batters over seven innings while giving up just two earned runs off three hits (and not a single walk). Medlin has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than two walks in eight consecutive appearances. She was also big at the plate, going 1-for-3 with one triple and one run.
