The Jammers got in front in the third inning on a Christ Conley RBI double, an error and a CJ Pickering RBI single made it a 4-0 game. Elmira scored its first run in the fourth on a Brian Kelly RBI single. Jamestown got that run back in the seventh on a Hunter Jones RBI single. The Pioneers rallied in the bottom of the ninth, scoring a run on a Connor Burns RBI double, but it wasn’t enough as Jamestown held on.

Oneonta 12 Geneva 1
After a delayed game time start, the Oneonta Outlaws scored multiple runs in four separate innings to beat the Geneva Red Wings, 12-1, at home.
The Red Wings took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second but Oneonta responded with two of its own in the home half to take the lead for good. The Outlaws then scored three in the third and four in the fourth to extend the lead to 10-1. In the seventh, the home team plated two more to conclude the game’s scoring.
Five Outlaws had multi-hit games. Austin Higginbotham struck out eight over eight innings of one-run ball to earn the win. Joseph Polanski took the loss for Geneva.
Utica 4 Newark 2
The Utica Blue Sox moved into a tie for first place in the West Division with a 4-2 win over the Newark Pilots at Donovan Stadium.
