The Hornets stung first, early in the half when the ball found it’s way past the Marshfield keeper. Robert Martin took the sting out of the Lebanon team when he tied the score in the 29th minute of play. There is some dispute as to whether it is an assist or not, but Ethan Jernigan is the player that got the ball to Martin that enabled him to make the drive to the box. That score held through the half. The second half was a tough fight for both teams. The game remained scoreless, until Colton Harden sent the ball up to Robert Martin with just 5 minutes left in the game. Martin lobed one past the Lebanon Keeper to make the score 2-1 in favor of the Jays. That score held to give the Jays their second win in as many games. Great Job Jays!
