The pitching of Jon Luke Jacobs and Sean Ray helped lead the Gray Team to a 6-2, series-opening win in the Auburn baseball team’s annual Fall World Series on Thursday night at Plainsman Park.

Jacobs, who got the start, and Sean Ray, who came on in relief of Jacobs, each went three innings on the night while Opelika native Zach Blatt followed with a perfect seventh to give coach Link Jarrett’s team a one-game lead in the three-game series.

Ryan Jenkins was the star offensively, getting a pair of RBI on two hits, including a double, while Dan Gamache also had two hits in the win.

The series continues tonight at 6 p.m. when Stephen Kohlscheen tries to even things up for the White Team against Gray Team starter Grant Dayton.
