GAME 1 HIGHLIGHTS

• Avery Liestman pitched a two-hit complete game shutout in the opener, striking out seven and facing just three batters over the minimum as he improved to 6-0 on the year.
• Liestman retired the first nine hitters in order before giving up a single to Lane Darrow leading off the fourth inning. The only other DWU hitter to record a base hit against the Jimmie right-hander was Drew Kitchens, who singled with two outs in the sixth.
• UJ's first run came in the top of the second on a single by Jett Nelson. Ryan Muizelaar was on second after a one-out double, and a throwing error by the Tigers' third baseman allowed Muizelaar to come around and score.
• A pair of home runs accounted for the Jimmie scoring in the fifth inning. Alex Alva's fifth of the year, a three-run shot, put Jamestown ahead 4-0. Later in the inning, Jordan Singleton hit his fourth of the season, a two-run homer, extending the lead to 6-0.
• Alva drove in his fourth run of the game an inning later with a single through the left side of the infield, and Ben Swennumson's seventh inning single brought in the final UJ run of the game.
• Triston Madison had a double for Jamestown, which also had hits from Hayden Brown and Isaiah Roebuck.
