After low-scoring totals in their previous three contest, Aberdeen brought some dynamite into their most recent match. Their pitcher stepped up to hand the Black Hills Wolves an 11-0 shutout on Tuesday. Considering the Bobcats' hitters had been struggling lately, the high-scoring outing was a much-needed turnaround.
Bubba Jones made a big impact no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits over five innings pitched. He also tossed a walk, which is notable because Aberdeen is undefeated when he allows at most one walk, but 3-7 otherwise. Jones was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in two of his five plate appearances with one stolen base and one run.
