Game 1 of the weekend against Dawson was a game of missed opportunities. The Jacks were able to get a few guys on base but couldn’t string together hits at the right time. The score was actually close until a 3 run HR in the 5th inning allowed Dawson to win by the mercy rule. Defensively for the Jacks, Greg Thompson pitched well and the defense was dramatically improved from our last game in Tucson with only one error.

Game 2 was a game of what could have been for the Jacks. After getting beat by ten in game one the Jacks came back in a big way jumping out early in the game scoring 5 runs in 4 innings. However, we were not able to keep our foot on the gas and finish the game scoring. Dawson had a steady attack and eventually outscored the Jacks. It was a tough loss for the Jacks because Brett Hebel pitched so well and the defense was outstanding again. We showed flashes of really great baseball in this game.

Game 3 was one of those games that you would like to forget for the Jacks. The game started with two walks followed by a home run by Dawson. From there it pretty much stayed the same as it seemed Dawson could not miss the ball and the Jacks couldn’t solve Dawson’s pitcher. It wasn’t until the top of the fourth before Jesse Turner finally got a hit breaking up Austin’s no hit bid. Again the Jacks played well defensively but it is awful hard to win without runners on base and hits.

Game 4 on the weekend was a game that the Jacks had an opportunity to win. We came out of the gate clicking on all cylinders with hits, runs, and the best defense we have played all year. The way we played for the first three innings I believe we could have beaten most teams. However, we had out number three in our hands in the fourth inning but dropped the ball. When you make errors that give a good team second life it leads to bad things which in this case was 6 runs. As a coach I was happy with the way we played this game and as we now will get to practice outside hopefully we can make one error at most in a game.

Overall, I was impressed with how WE battled throughout the weekend. WE definitely had our highs and our lows, but when WE were beaten by ten in two games WE could have easily folded the tents and lost all games by huge margins. However, this TEAM will not quit and WE showed that giving Dawson two really tough games. It is disappointing but WE believe WE are moving in the right direction. For all of our fans, friends, and family please be patient because WE are on the cusp of playing really solid baseball. WE will start to get the scoreboard to fall in our favor, but our first step was to become competitive again and I believe WE are! Next weekend the Jacks are headed back to Montana to take on Miles City. After that WE will be headed to Mayville on Monday the 14th to take on Mayville State JV.

Thank you and GO JACKS!

Coach Martin
