Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Madras). They put the hurt on the Klamath Union Pelicans with a sharp 17-7 win on Friday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the White Buffaloes considering their one-run performance the contest before.
Danny Jackson made a splash no matter where he played. He struck out six batters over 4.1 innings while giving up just one earned (and five unearned) runs off four hits (and not a single walk). Those six strikeouts gave him a new career-high. He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4. That stolen base was his first of the season.
