Chargers down Jets 9-4

Eric Brown pitched a complete game as North Decatur

defeated the Hauser Jets 9-4 Monday evening.

“He seemed to get stronger as the game progressed,” reported

Coach Garry Sauley of the Chargers. “We finally hit the ball well and

went with pitches. We haven't been doing that well all year. Hopefully

we can continue that trend throughout the rest of the season.”

Brown got off to a shaky start giving up one run in the first and three

in the third before blanking the Jets the rest of the way.

The Chargers temporarily gained the lead in the top of the third

inning when they scored two runs and took the lead for good by

scoring four times in the fourth inning.

“We had some good defensive plays by John Kirchhoff, Travis

Blodgett and a game-ending play by Neal Ploeger who robbed Nick

Long of a 3-run home run,” Sauley said.
