Flann doubled and Frost tripled for Jamestown's extra base hits, and Keller stole three bases.

Schorzman and Ward each drove in a pair of runs, and Keller and Allie McCain (JR/Duvall, WA) also had RBIs.

The Jimmies scored three runs in the first and then three more in the second to take a 6-0 lead. York answered with a run in the bottom of the second, then scored again in the fourth to make it 6-2. Jamestown rounded out the scoring with a pair of runs in the sixth to make it 8-2.
