Jake Jeske has quickly become a tough customer on the mound for Eagle opponents to face. Another team now found that out last week, as the West Hancock Eagles left with a 4-1 loss to the home Eagles. The freshman phenom allowed only two hits and one walk. The run they did get they had to earn. He shackled the rest of their bats with nine strikeouts for a nice night’s work.

Prior to that, a Monday game at Forest City saw a back and forth battle with the Indians prevailing 9-5. The Eagles plated three in the top of the fourth to lead 3-2, only to have the home team score three of their own to go up again at 5-3. A two-run fifth allowed the Eagles to tie the score, but they couldn’t manage to push anymore across from there. The Indians took the lead back for good with a four-run rally in the sixth.
