“We have 16 guys on the roster and we have 16 guys playing for each other,” Jayhawks coach Jordan Basile said. “The biggest thing is they know each weekend they have to rely on each other and be unselfish and work together to have the accomplisments they’re having. The best thing in the world is seeing these guys learn how to win.”

In the first game, Bryce Jackson (Jamestown/Jamestown) pitched a complete game, striking out 11 and scattering eight hits for the win.

“Bryce was awesome,” Basile said. “He was the best Bryce I’ve ever seen.”
