Sunday, August 25th , 2024
Jayden Howard went yard three times in a Sikeston Shamrocks victory over the Wichita Panthers at Panthers Park.

For the day, the Sikeston center fielder went 3-for-4 against Wichita with 4 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Shamrocks to the 8-2 win.
"I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out."
Jayden Howard hit a two-run home run off Satoshi Nishiyama in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Satoshi Nishiyama in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Jesse Soto in the 8th and walked in the 9th.
