The Jaguars (5-6) turned in an 0-4 mark during their stay in the Cal Ripken Experience, but coach Darren McWhorter said his team got better after playing good competition in some nice weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverall it was a great trip, we had good weather, and played very good competition and we competed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Laurel scored a run in the first inning, and led 1-0 until Upper Darby tied the game at one apiece in the third inning. Upper Parman scored a run in the fifth inning, and added another insurance run in the seventh inning before the Jaguars attempted to rally, but managed to score a run in the bottom of the seventh inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were able to see good pitching and I thought our pitching competed well Corey Broughton and Andrew Cupp,\u201d McWhorter said. \u201cIt was a game like you see in tournament play. Every play mattered and we made a couple of errors that cost us runs. Someone has to get a big hit to score runs,\u201d he added. \u201cWe did that late to get within one with a runner on second, but it wasn’t meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
North Laurel finished with three hits while Blaize Jones, and EJ Allen each finished with a hit, and an RBI apiece. Andrew Cupp also had a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
