DuQuoin had to settle for second on Saturday, but Dedrick Melvin sure wasn't going down easily. Despite the defeat, Melvin was still locked in as he struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off eight hits.
Looking ahead, Melvin and DuQuoin will challenge Pleasant Plains at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Pleasant Plains will enter the matchup having just beaten Goreville, so DuQuoin will have to guard against a team looking to keep the ball rolling.
