What's more, he gave up only one walk, the fewest he's had since back in February. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one double and one RBI.

In other batting news, Jackson let Marcus Blash and Seth Geter run wild. Blash scored two runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances, while Geter scored a run while going 2-for-4. Another player making a difference was Maceo White, who scored a run while going 1-for-4.

Jackson always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .622. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Midtown only posted an OBP of .346.

Jackson's win was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-6. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to hits: they averaged an imposing 13.33 hits in those games compared to only 5.18 in the others.
