Jonesville lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Homer, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Friday's game. The Comets were the clear victors by a 16-1 margin over the Trojans on Friday. The Comets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six matchups by seven runs or more this season.

Devan Herendeen made a splash no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out seven batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off six hits (and not a single walk). He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run, three runs, and one stolen base. He has become a key player for Jonesville: the team is undefeated when he posts at least two runs, but 5-6 otherwise.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Carson Young, who fired off two home runs and four RBI while going 2-for-4. Those two hits gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Kade Shannon, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs.

Jonesville kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 14 hits. That's a new trend for them: they were averaging 4.6 hits per game earlier this season, but in their last 15 contests they've averaged 11.8.

Jonesville is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a massive bump to their 11-6 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.6 runs on average over those games. As for Homer, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 7-10.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Jonesville will face off against Manchester at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. As for Homer, they will take on Michigan Center at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Trojans are facing the Cardinals at the right time seeing as the Cardinals are stuck on a three-game losing streak.
