[JHS4EVER]

Jackson wins 9-7 over Zanesville. Way to go BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hitchbone64]

Big win for Jackson. Their athletic program has struggled somewhat over the past few years. Excellent season for the Ironmen.

South picks up another W today.

[Cap'n Scoop]

Looks like the South hitters are for real. Gallia outhit Warren but the Warriors kept catching the ball at the fence.

CONGRATS to the 2008 SEOAL CHAMPIONS -- THE JACKSON IRONMEN

[gocubsgo]

Could someone explain to me how Zanesville lost to Jackson. I thought Zanesville was one of the best teams in the state. I thought if Jackson had been in the North they would be winless.

I talked to a Jackson assistant coach today. Told me Z-Ville was no-hitting Jackson through 4 innings and were trailing 7-0. The Ironmen did not give up and had a strong finish including a Grand Slam that gave them some big momentum.

Congrats to Jackson on their SEOAL Championship.

[noreply66]

Jackson has a lot a fire power this year and every once in awhile the pitching went with the offense. Jackson's hitting and pitching popped up at the same time in the DOC game.

[ironman02]

I read a summary of the Jackson-Zanesville game on here somewhere...

Coyan pitched for Jackson, but struggled early. The coaching staff stuck with him though. He helped his own cause by hitting his 10th homerun of the season, a grand slam, to cut the lead to 7-4. Jackson would eventually take a 9-7 lead and Coyan went the distance on the mound, keeping Zanesville hitless in the last couple innings to preserve the win. The Ironmen really showed a lot of heart and made some big plays when they needed them. On the road, down 7 runs to a team that was previously undefeated in SEOAL play, and they come back to win...very impressive.
