A batter later the Bases were loaded when Mariners, Parker Vaughn hit a bases clearing double to extend the lead to 8-1

By Joshua Stanley • July 21, 2026

Joes finished the last set of the year to the Xenia Scouts. Scouts are coming off a win where the Joes struggled to produce and their first win in July. Joes are still trying to win the series after the series going even at 1-1. Scouts would strike first in the bottom of the third with Bo Sulley coming around to score on a passed ball. He would reach off a single and steal second and third before scoring. It was a quiet game from both offenses combined. Both sides would struggle all game. Both teams would hit an RBI, but the Scouts were able to get runs in regardless. Scouts would be able to get runs in from walks, passed balls, and errors. They would score their second run with a walk from Dawson Cleveland to score Steve Schneider for their second run of the game. Mayo Fernandez would come around to score later in the inning from a throwing error from Alex Gay to make it a 3-0 game. Joe's pitching would still struggle in this game, allowing ten walks as a unit. Joe’s would surrender two more runs to make it 5-0 as they weren’t able to put any runs on the board in this game and lost 5-0. Joes will go into the All-Star break with their playoff spot secured. Joes will start a series with Grand Lake to finish the year and to start the playoffs.
