JEFFERSONVILLE – Jeffersonville got a solid pitching
performance from senior Cam Northern and three-hit games from juniors Bailey
Falkenstein and Gabe Bierman in an 8-2 upset win over Class 3A No. 1 Jasper
last Friday at Don Poole Field. The Wildcats (12-2) had their 10-game winning
streak end.
Northern collected a complete-game victory to improve his
record to 2-1. The two runs (one earned) he allowed came in the top of the
seventh inning after the Red Devils (7-6) built an 8-0 lead.
Northern, who will walk on to the Purdue University football
team this fall, surrendered five hits and one walk. He struck out seven.
Bierman went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and two runs
scored. Falkenstein was 3-for-5 with two RBIs and one run scored. Jeff
sophomore Drew Taylor wound up 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.
Jeff plated three runs in the bottom of the second to go up
3-0. Senior Mike Minton put the Red Devils up 1-0 with an RBI single. Fellow senior
Bennie Day upped the Jeff advantage to two runs as he came home as part of a
double steal. Minton then scored on a Falkenstein single.
The Devils tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the
fourth. Taylor led off the inning with a triple, and Falkenstein knocked him in
with an RBI base hit. Red Devil sophomore Jack Ellis made the score 6-0 later
in the frame with a two-run double. Jeff scored twice in the sixth.
Jasper senior Jared Sermersheim went 2-for-3 with a double.
Wildcat starter Jacob Lents got his first loss of the season. In 2 1/3 innings
