Game Summary
The Lions remained undefeated on the season with a 14 - 4 victory over Armwood on February 21, 2014. The Lions scored 2 in the first, two more in the second on Kobe Barnum's first career home run, and a single run in the third to take a 5 - 0 lead. The Hawks narrowed the score to 5 - 4 after the top of the fifth inning, but the Lions went off for 8 in the bottom of the fifth to regain the momentum. The Lions then scored on Ethan Thomas's single to left in the sixth to take a 10-run lead and end the game.
Game notes: Brain Lee earned his first win as a Lion. Despite the 10-run victory, Drew Grubb was credited with a save (because he entered the game with a one-run lead). . . . Bubby Terp's second homer of the year -- a three-run shot in the fifth -- traveled an estimated 360 feet . . . . Kobe Barnum's home run actually bounced off a pole behind the outfield fence back into the field of play. The Hawk's outfielder thoughtfully raised his arm to indicate that the ball was out.
