Jena proved they can win big last Tuesday (they won by ten) and on Friday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 7-5 victory over the Oak Grove Tigers. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Giants have posted since March 1st.
Cayden Mursch was incredible, going 2-for-4 with one home run and two runs. That home run marked the first that he launched this season. Another player making a difference was Jonas Jenkins, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base and one RBI.
Jena is on a roll lately: they've won 11 of their last 12 games. That's provided a massive bump to their 16-7 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 12.8 runs over those games. Oak Grove's defeat ended a five-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 9-8.
Looking ahead, Jena will face off against Vidalia at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. We've got a battle between Tigers coming up.
