While Mt. Vernon's win against Lexington wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Yellowjackets narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past the Minutemen 3-1. The win continues a trend for the Yellowjackets in their matchups with the Minutemen: they've now won six in a row.

Zac Clow was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out ten batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). Clow was also big at the plate, scoring a run and stealing a base while going 1-for-2.

Clow wasn't the only one making solid contact as five players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Nolan Hershberger, who went 2-for-3 with two RBI and one double. That double was Hershberger's first of the season.

Mt. Vernon's victory bumped their record up to 3-4. As for Lexington, their record now sits at 3-2.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mt. Vernon will challenge Granville at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Blue Aces will roll in looking for their fifth straight win, something the Yellowjackets surely won't give up without a fight. As for Lexington, they will take on Shelby at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. The Whippets' pitching crew has only allowed 2.4 runs per game this season, so the Minutemen's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
