Offensively, the Jets were led by Kym Barthel who was 1 for 5 with a triple and RBI.  Luke Barry was 1 for 2 with a double, 3 BB’s and 3 runs scored.  Ben Douglas was 3 for 4 with an RBI.  Brendan Hendriks was 2 for 4 with a triple and 3 RBI’s.  Brant Hittel was 2 for 2 with 2 BB’s and 2 runs scored.
