Jackson, TN (June 3rd)- The West Tenn Diamond Jaxx blanked the Tennessee Smokies 4-0 before a crowd of 3203 fans at Pringles Park on Saturday night. It was the second straight shutout of the series as the Smokies won the first game 3-0 on Friday night.

Brownlie gave up just three hits and walked three while striking out two in his five innings of work. Thomas Atlee pitched three scoreless innings in relief, yielding just one hit. Clay Rapada struckout the side after hitting the leadoff batter in the ninth inning.

The Diamond Jaxx scored three runs in the first inning off losing pitcher Garrett Mock (1-6). Gary Cates walked to begin the inning. Eric Patterson singled Cates to third and they both scored on a two run triple down the right-field line by Nic Jackson. Jackson scored on a groundout by Brian Dopirak to make it a 3-0 game. The Diamond Jaxx tacked on their final run of the night in the seventh inning on a run scoring double by Patterson.
