Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Jordan). They were the clear victor by a 20-2 margin over the Sumter County Panthers on Friday. The result was nothing new for the Red Jackets, who have now won seven contests by ten runs or more so far this season.
Brody Catlin and Bradley Smith were a major factor no matter where they played. On the mound, Catlin tossed 2.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run but no hits. Meanwhile, Smith pitched 1.2 innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. He has been consistent : he hasn't given up more than two hits in six consecutive appearances. At the plate, Catlin went 3-for-4 with two triples, three RBI, and two runs, while Smith scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-4. Those three RBI gave Catlin a new career-high.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Jared Carter, who scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. What's more, he posted two RBI, the most he's had since back in April of 2024. Jason Lee was another key player, scoring two runs while going 1-for-4.
Jordan always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Sumter County only posted an OBP of .368.
