Lancaster showed why they are the best team in the league with a 5 and 0 record.

The game may have remained closer, but in the 6th the Eastside defense had a few miscue which contributed to quite a few opportunities for lancaster to score a bunch more runs.

Congratulations goes out to Zach Stutzman for throwing a no-hitter and keeping the Eastside batters completely baffled the entire 6 innings.
