\n\tThe Jaspers fell behind in the home half of the first inning, before tying the game at one in the visiting half of the third inning with the corner bases occupied by Colin Basehore<\/a> and Payton Matthews<\/a>, respectively. Justin Best<\/a> grounded out first to get the force before Matthews crossed the plate.
\n\tIn the visiting half of the fifth inning with Basehore at second, Andreaus Lewis<\/a> smashed a go-ahead home run down the right field line to put the Green and White ahead by one run.
\n\tWith the Jaspers threatening at the top of the eighth and looking to put a man in scoring position, Trevor Hansen<\/a>, after singling, was thrown out across the diamond after the Stags’ catcher launched a perfect throw to the shortstop to apply the tag on the Manhattan first baseman.
\n\tOne last gasp for the Green and White in the visiting half of the ninth proved to be unsuccessful, with Guriyandel Salva<\/a> tallying a single to right before advancing to second on a Matthews sacrifice bunt, but it was not enough.

\n\tOutfielder Colin Basehore<\/a> notched a double in a 2-for-4 afternoon, while crossing the plate once, and working a walk.
\n\tInfielder Trevor Hansen<\/a> posted a double on a 2-for-3 day, while also working a walk. Hansen also attempted to swipe second but was unsuccessful.
\n\tCatcher Andreaus Lewis<\/a> tallied his third home run of the season in a 1-for-4 day that included two RBI and crossing the plate once.
\n\tStarting pitcher Joseph Duffield<\/a> put forth a valiant effort on the mound in 4.1 innings of work, which featured six punch outs, while surrendering two walks and three hits in 21 batters faced on 77 pitches.
