YANKTON, SD – One game went well and one didn’t Monday for Jamestown Jimmies Baseball.
Jamestown won the opener of a doubleheader Monday 2-0 over Mount Marty before the Lancers blanked the Jimmies in the second game 9-0 at Bob Tereshinski Stadium at Riverside Field.
The games were a makeup of a doubleheader that had been scheduled for Sunday at Jack Brown Stadium. Jamestown batted last in both games.

He gave up a leadoff double in the seventh to Mount Marty’s Shugo Kondo, and Brown retired the last two hitters for his second save.
