Jordan drove in four runs across his first two at bats.

The Ponies added another run in the fourth when Palmer stole second base, got to third on an error and scored on another error on the same play that made it 5-0.

Hamel (7-6) earned the win and was dominant over six scoreless innings. He allowed just four hits, one walk, and struck out five batters. Hamel faced the minimum in half of his innings of work.
