JCC Baseball Completes Season Sweep Of Corning CC
CORNING — Looking to get the season sweep against Corning Community College, the Jamestown Community College baseball team did just that as it swept an NJCAA doubleheader Sunday afternoon.
The Jayhawks (9-17, 8-8 Region 3 West) came away with a 12-1 win in game one and a 19-8 win in game two.
In the first game, Jamestown CC was led offensively by Kenny Nickson III (Erie, Pennsylvania/Erie HS), who had three hits and four RBIs. Four Jayhawks collected two hits each in the contest.
The Jayhawks used a five-run first inning and never looked back.
Pitcher Zach Rohlin (Russell, Pennsylvania/Eisenhower) tossed a gem, giving up no earned runs on two hits while striking out three batters.
In the second game, Jamestown CC collected 20 hits with Nate Johnson (Lakewood/Southwestern), Timothy Beimel (Saint Marys, Pennsylvania/Saint Marys) and Nickson III each getting three hits. Beimel and Nickson III both smacked two doubles.
The Jayhawks also collected 11 stolen bases with Timothy Johnson (San Tan Valley, Arizone/Comb) leading the way with three. With the 11 stolen bases, Jamestown CC set a new single-game team record, a mark that was set the day before. The Red Barons led 4-0 after three innings, but the Jayhawks exploded for 13 runs in the top of the fourth and didn’t look back.
It was pitching by committee to get the win with Alex Kemery (Youngsville, Pennsylvania/Youngsville HS) going one-third inning, allowing two earned runs on one hit. Ethan Phillips (East Durham/Cairo-Durham) came in for relief, going 1.2 innings where he allowed two earned runs on four hits. De’Sean Rogers (Winter Haven, Florida/Winter Haven ) went the next three innings to get the win, shutting down the Red Barons’ offense by striking out three batters and not giving up a hit. Lucas Marsh (Salamanca, NY/Salamanca HS) came in to close the game out but gave up three earned runs and was replaced by Riley Piazza (Jamestown, NY/Jamestown) who surrendered one earned run on three hits and struck out a pair.
The Jayhawks will be back in action Thursday as they travel to Finger Lakes Community College for a 2 p.m. first pitch.
