Jackson had lost six straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped down to 4-9 to make it seven. They fell 7-2 to the Monroe Trojans. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Trojans this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 17-2 on Monday.
Jackson saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brady Curtis, who went 2-for-3 with one run. That run was Curtis' first of the season.
As for Monroe, the victory (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 5-6. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.3 runs over those games.
On Monroe's side, the team relied heavily on Carson Liedel, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base. Liedel has become a key player for the Trojans: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 0-6 otherwise.
