CRETE, Neb. (jimmiepride.com)– The University of Jamestown baseball team fell victim to a two-run rally in the top of the sixth against Doane University, losing 3-1 in the championship game of the Doane bracket Saturday afternoon.
Jamestown finishes the season with a record of 30-23, reaching the 30-win mark for the 11th straight season, excluding the 2020 season which was shortened to 23 games.
The Tigers scored in the top of the first on a throwing error by the Jimmies, but UJ tied the game in the bottom of the third as they took advantage of a Doane error. Chase Hacker (SR/Millcreek, WA) walked to lead off the inning and stole second base. Brian Rice (JR/Vancouver, WA)’s sacrifice bunt moved Hacker to third, and Grant Okawa (SR/Mississauga, ON) hit a ball that was misplayed by the shortstop, allowing Hacker to cross the plate.
