It was a total team effort Tuesday night as the Adams Central Jets jumped out to a 6-1 lead and held on for a 7-6 victory in the ACAC against Bluffton in Monroe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lilli Jackson was dominant early on for the home team, striking out five in five innings of work and allowing just one earned run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bluffton scored a run on a botched rundown between third and home, but AC answered right back with two runs in the bottom of the inning. That rally was sparked by a double from Peralez and was aided by a bases-loaded walk to Baylee Smith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bluffton scored three times after an AC pitching change in the sixth inning, but a good throw by Melina Peralez ended the inning and killed the rally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers threatened to tie the game in the seventh with another rally after Jenna Cook got the first two batters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bluffton loaded the bases thanks to an error and a walk, but Cook took major satisfaction in striking out the final batter to win the game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jets were drawn against South Adams in the upcoming sectional and the winner will have to play Bluffton in the semifinals, meaning these two teams certainly have a chance of meeting again. The Jets are now 7-4 on the season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
