The scorekeeper got an easy start on Friday as neither Nelson nor Barlow made it on the board until the sixth inning. Nelson never let Barlow get on the board and left with a 3-0 victory. The win was some much needed relief for Nelson as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
Nelson's victory was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Ben Stephen, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one double. That run marked the first that Stephen has scored this season.
