Lafayette Jefferson had lost three straight at home, but on Monday they dropped their record down to 11-9 to make it four. They took a 7-3 hit to the loss column at the hands of the McCutcheon Mavericks. The Bronchos were not able to make up for their defeat to the Mavericks from their previous meeting back in April of 2024.
As for McCutcheon, they are on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 6-7 record this season. Seven seems to be a good number for they as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of runs in their previous game.
For McCutcheon's part, Reed Grimes spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on two hits and racked up six Ks. Those six strikeouts set a new season-high mark for Grimes.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Jake Winger, who went 2-for-4 with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. He is becoming a predictor of McCutcheon's success: when he posts at least one home run the team is undefeated (and 3-7 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Aiden Riser, who went 2-for-4 with one stolen base and one run.
While Lafayette Jefferson had to take the loss, they won't have to wait long to give it another shot: the pair's next game is a rematch scheduled at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
