BASEBALL
The Jets baseball squad continues their strong season, sweeping a Sunday doubleheader against St. Clair County Community College. In the first game, Josh Markel pitched a brilliant complete game shutout, allowing just five hits, and striking out 3 in the 7-0 victory. He has yet to allow a run in conference play, and his season ERA dropped to an amazing 0.66. Offensively, Jackson was paced by leadoff man Parker Murdie, DH Hunter Teunion-Smith, and third baseman Keagan O’Brien who each had a pair of hits and first baseman Carlos Agens who drove in a pair of runs.
In game two, Xavier Hovinen recorded his first win of the year in a 6-1 win. Parker Murdie picked up two more hits to move his season average to .520, Carlos Agens picked up his 14th RBI, and left fielder Dylan Watson tallied his 48th RBI of the year in the win.
With the sweep, the Jets improve to 25-14 on the season and 17-8 in conference play. They are currently in second place in the MCCAA East Division, and have qualified for the Region XII tournament.
Up next for the Jets, they’ll travel to Glen Oaks Community College today for a single, 9-inning game. The first pitch is scheduled for 2pm.
