Jesters Trip Matadors, 14-8
The Joilet Jesters topped the Hartford Matadors, 14-8, with left fielder Zach Williard playing a big role. Williard went 2-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice for the Jesters in the win. Chase Lovett earned the win for Joilet. He lasted 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 2. With the win, he raised his record to 9-4. The Jesters go to 71-53, putting them first in the Stars Conference East Division.

Joilet won the game in part because of Jeff Whitis. The first baseman ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Jesters ahead, 3-0. For the game, Whitis had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," Whitis said in postgame remarks. "Soon enough, the finish line will be in sight."
