Mason threw 9.0 innings of 6-hit ball. Mason, who is tied for 10th in the IA in innings pitched with 158.2, went the distance for Cincinnati. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. The slumping Excelsiors have dropped 6 in a row.
Jonathan Hawkins, who is tied for 4th in the IA in stolen bases with 42, helped out the Cincinnati cause in the bottom of the sixth inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the shortstop drove in one run.
Mason said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
