"We got off to a slow start and battled back to come out on top. Jerry Burkett II and Anthony Fidanza stayed solid on the mound and gave the hitters some time to figure out there pitchers. Spears and Burgos very productive for us, said Chris Crenshaw, Southern Head Coach."

Burkett II picks up his first win of the season and Enrique Ozoa picked up his third save of the season. The Jaguars scoring came from Dorris and Armstrong with two runs each. Burgos, Porter, Tabb and Wiley with one run each.
