Okotoks, AB – 

The VAB Jets dropped a couple of ball games on a cool and rainy day in Okotoks.  5-1 and 6-3 were the final scores.  The scores were a result of some untimely errors, to many walks and not enough offense coupled with a good Okotoks club.

Game 1 saw Ben Erwin get the start going 4 innings allowing 3 hits, 4 runs, 2 earned runs with 4 K’s and 4 BB’s.  Garrett Nicholson threw 2 innings in relief allowing 3 hits, 1 run with 1 BB.  Offensively, the Jets only mustered 1 hit from Cooper Jones who was 1 for 3.

Game 2 saw Jaden Griffen start on the mound going 4 innings allowing 2 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned runs with 7 K’s and 3 BB’s.  Adam Macko finished things off going 2 innings allowing 2 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned runs with 4 K’s and 3 BB’s.

Offensively, the Jets were led by Jared Binsfeld who was 1 for 3 with an RBI.  Liam Vulcano was 1 for 4 with an RBI.  Kaiden Cardoso was 1 for 3.  Ben Erwin was 2 for 3 to round out the offense.

Next action for the Jets is Thursday vs Abbotsford Cardinals – 3 pm start at Jets Stadium.
