Jammers Skid Continues at Williamsport with 5-1 Loss

Jamestown Jammers News Release


WILLIAMSPORT, PA - For the fourth straight game the Jamestown Jammers fell victim to the big inning as the Williamsport Crosscutters topped the Jammers, 5-1, at Bowman Field Saturday.

The Crosscutters, who had lost six of seven to Jamestown this season, jumped on Helpi Reyes for four runs in the first inning and never looked back to stay in the hunt for the wild card. On the other hand, the loss drops the purple and green (29-31) to a season-worst two games below .500.

Brian McConkey paced the offense with two hits and a run scored, and Josh Adams had a double for a Jamestown attack that matched Williamsport's seven hits.

While the Jammers struggled to string hits together, the Crosscutters pieced together three hits in the first inning to jump out to an insurmountable early advantage.

Peter Lavin singled to start the frame before Kyrell Hudson walked. Geancarlo Mendez roped a triple to right to plate two runs. Bob Stumpo walked then Luis Unda grounded out to score another run and move Stumpo to second. Cody Asche then added a single of his own to make it 4-0.

Jamestown had a chance to swing back some momentum in the top of the second with two men on and one out; however, the next two batters were retired to end the threat.

Neither team would even have an opportunity to score until the bottom of the seventh inning when Peter Lavin roped a triple to right to extend the advantage.

While things looked bleak, Jamestown attempted to mount a comeback in the ninth.

McConkey singled with one out before Adams drilled a double to plate the only Jamestown run.

For Williamsport, Lavin triggered the offense with three hits, including the triple, a RBI and a run scored, and Mendez chipped in a double, a triple and two RBI. On the mound, Adam Morgan earned the win after tossing 5 shutout frames, giving up four hits and fanning four.

Reyes took the loss after the rocky start, but he bounced back from the first by giving up just two hits and walking none in the final five innings.

Jamestown and Williamsport will be back in action Sunday at 5:05 p.m.
