JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — The Jackson Giants picked up a couple of important conference wins Tuesday in Rock Springs as they swept the Stallions.

Jackson 9, Rock Springs 4

Aaron Huggins (7-3) powered his way to his 7th win, lowering his ERA to 3.81, while Ethan Garner led the offense with a double and a homer. Trayson Kostial added a 3-run blast of his own in the 6th to put the game away for the Giants.

Mason Wright followed his strong outing against Cheyenne last week with another impressive performance on the mound and a win against the Stallions in the nightcap to improve to 5-3 on the season.

But it was the offense that was the real story for Post 43. Jackson pounded out 16 hits over 5 innings. Everyone in the starting lineup had at least one hit—Ethan Garner (3-5, 1 RBI), Matt Fisher (2-3, 3 RBI), Bridger Hammond (2-3, 3 RBI), and Trayson Kostial (2-3, 1 RBI) had multi-hit games for the Giants.

Next up

The Giants are now 26-31 on the season. They play a doubleheader with the Idaho Falls Tigers (14-8) Thursday beginning at 5pm in Jackson. Both games will be carried by KZ95.
