Jenkins struck out eight in just four innings of work last week, and did not allow a hit. Against Hiram, he twirled a scoreless inning with two strikeouts. Jenkins later picked up an-extra innings win against Defiance, helping the Fords get back to the bats with five strikeouts in just 2.2 innings, and followed that performance with a save against Plymouth State in the Florida finale, striking out the only batter he faced. In his four innings of work across three appearances, the senior southpaw tallied a win and a save with eight strikeouts, three walks and no hits allowed.
