RICHMOND, IND — The Battle Creek Battle Jacks split the series against the Richmond Flying Mummies on Tuesday following a 13-4 dominant victory.
The Flying Mummies, despite the loss, got out to an early 1-0 lead in the third inning, as Peyton Bittle crossed home plate off Jackson Cliatt’s RBI.

The Battle Jacks kept the offence rolling in the fifth inning, as they stormed out to a 9-1 lead, taking a commanding 9-1 lead.
