Stephenson's game on Monday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Tuesday. They put the hurt on the Douglass Astros with a sharp 12-1 victory. The Jaguars might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten matchups by nine runs or more this season.

Blakelon McClammy was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he tossed five innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in strikeouts (five). He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing two bases while going 2-for-4.

In other batting news, Anthony Booker was incredible, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs. Another player making a difference was Romando Craddock, who scored two runs and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.

Stephenson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .531. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Douglass only posted an OBP of .353.

Stephenson is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 12-9 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.3 runs over those games. As for Douglass, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost six of their last eight contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 7-10 record this season.

We've got plenty of inter-region action coming up soon. Stephenson is set to face off against their familiar foe Mt. Zion at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Douglass will square off against rival Riverdale at 5:55 p.m. on Wednesday.
