Oliver Tosses the Jets to Victory
The Hauser Jets continued their strong season Saturday with a 3-0 shutout victory over the Oldenburg Academy Twisters behind a dominant pitching performance from pitcher Oliver.

Oliver was in complete control from the start, tossing a two-hit shutout while striking out 10 batters and allowing just one walk over seven innings. The Jets’ defense backed him up all afternoon as Hauser improved with another strong win.

After a scoreless first inning, Hauser broke through in the second when Sessions scored the game’s first run. The Jets added insurance in the sixth inning with two more runs to pull away for the 3-0 final.

Niccum led the Hauser offense with two hits and two runs scored, while Hunter delivered a key two-RBI performance. Gill, Blair, Sessions, Sargent, and Hunter all added hits for the Jets in the balanced offensive effort.

Hauser finished the game with seven hits and played clean baseball throughout the afternoon.

Blair also reached base twice via walks as the Jets continued to pressure the Twisters offensively.
