Boyd County won against Logan on Friday with 16 runs and they decided to stick to that run total again on Saturday. Everything went the Lions' way against the Lakota East Thunderhawks as they made off with a 16-6 win. Considering the Lions have won ten contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

Elyn Simpkins was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, she tossed five innings while giving up three earned (and two unearned) runs off six hits. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. She was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of her four plate appearances with three runs and one double. That's the most runs she has posted over her last 16 games.

In other batting news, Boyd County got a massive performance out of Lacyn Black, who went 3-for-4 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. That's the most hits Black has posted since back in April of 2024. Savanna Henderson was another key player, going 2-for-4 with four RBI and one triple.

Boyd County was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .417. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lakota East only posted a batting average of .250.

Boyd County's victory was their fourth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 14-9. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Lakota East, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 7-5.

Boyd County will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Thunderhawks: the pair will be back at it again later today.
