Andre Duke and Alex Dunn added two runs apiece for Jay County, which scored three times in the first inning and twice in the second to build a 5-0 lead. Monroe Central scored its only run in the bottom of the third, and the Patriots put up three more runs in the fifth for the final margin.
Jon Pettus, Willie Mayfield and Chance Fuller followed Brown with two hits and one run apiece.
Eric Homan picked up the victory as he struck out seven batters in seven innings. He gave up just three hits and two walks, and the only run against him was unearned.
