GAME 4

Valley City 0

Jamestown 1

They say you save the best for last, and that line fits this game perfect. Both starters in this game got settled into their groves early. For Valley City, Mitchell Taylor pitched 6 great innings on the mound. He got into his only jam in the second inning, with the bases loaded Taylor struck out the number nine hitter of Jamestown to get out of the inning unharmed. The only blemish for Taylor came in the fifth when Eagles shortstop Payton Hochhalter got on base with a one out walk. After a passed ball, Hochhalter found himself in scoring position when Michael Mahoney would drive him in with and RBI single to give Jamestown the 1 to 0 lead.  Other than that you couldn’t have asked for a better performance from the right hander on the mound this evening. Taylor goes 6 innings giving up just the 1 run while striking out 3.

On the mound for Jamestown was righty Jacoby Nold. Nold frustrated the VC batters all evening and only allowed one base runner to get passed first base, and that was Alex Thornton who was left stranded at third in the top of the first inning. Jacoby Nold went 6 and a third on the bump giving up just 2 hits no runs and striking out 5. He was lifted in the 7th due to his pitch count. Jamestown would bring in lefty Mason Lunzman. The left hander made a brilliant pick off play with a base runner at first base who reached on a fielding error. Instead of having 1 on and 1 out, Lunzman got the runner at first and had a 3 to 2 count with 2 outs in the top of the 7th. He would complete the strike out to pick up the save and give his team the 1 to 0 win.
