While Mandarin put up some runs on Tuesday, the same can't be said for Yulee. The Mandarin Mustangs walked away with a 4-0 win over the Yulee Hornets. For the Mustangs, this counts as revenge for the 5-1 victory the Hornets walked away with the last time they faced one another back in March of 2016.

Not much got past John Brooks, who gave up just two hits and racked up 12 Ks to keep Yulee off the board. Brooks has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Makarios Brown, who scored a run and stole a base while going 2-for-3. Those two hits gave him a new career-high. Cameron Jacobsen also deserves some recognition as he scored his first run of the season.

Mandarin's win ended a four-game drought at home dating back to last season and bumped them up to 2-6. Even worse, they were so close so many times: the losses came by an average of only 2.5 runs. As for Yulee, their record is now 5-5.

Mandarin and Yulee could both be facing uphill battles in their next games considering their disadvantage in the MaxPreps Florida Rankings. Mandarin (ranked 453rd) will meet Episcopal School of Jacksonville (ranked 39th) at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Mandarin is out to stop a four-game streak of losses at home dating back to last season. Meanwhile, Yulee will take on Fernandina Beach at 7:00 p.m. on Friday down 311 places (348 vs. 37).
