Jon Jones, Nick Krolczyk and Nate Carter combined for a three-hit shutout and Austin Chubb drove in the game's only run, as the Moccasins beat Barry, 1-0, in the second game of their Saturday doubleheader at Miami Shores. Barry won the first game 6-3.
Jones worked the first five innings, giving up just two hits, to improve his record to 2-4. Krolczyk pitched the sixth, retiring three straight batters after giving up a leadoff single. Carter came on in the seventh, walked the leadoff batter for his first walk of the season, then retired three straight to earn his sixth save.
Chubb's two-out RBI-single came in the sixth. J.J. Downum led off with a single. Cory Jensen sacrificed him to second. T.J. Kuban walked. After Mike Snyder struck out, Chubb lined a single off the glove of Barry shortstop Adrian English to score Downum.
The win puts the Moccasins' record at 15-12, 6-6 in the SSC. Barry is 14-11, 7-2 in the SSC.
Barry out-homered the Moccasins 3-1 to win the first game. Chubb's sixth homer of the season had given FSC a 1-0 lead in the fourth. Barry tied it in the sixth on a solo homer by Sam Halpern. Bryant Elliott belted a two-run homer in the seventh to put Barry in front 3-1.
The Moccasins tied it at 3-3 in the top of the eighth on a two-run single by Mike Snyder, but Harold Holness hit Clay Chapman's second pitch of the inning down the left field line over the fence to put Barry back on top and the Buccaneers tacked on two additional runs for the 6-3 final.
