Hayfield came tearing into Monday's match with seven straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.9 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Lewis Lancers 16-0. That's the third time they've managed to beat them this season, with their most recent win being a 11-0 victory back in April.

Drew Olson was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He struck out seven batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Olson was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base, one run, and one double. He is on a roll when it comes to stolen bases, as he's now snagged at least one in each of the last four games he's played.

Laster went 2-for-3 with one home run, three RBI, and two runs, while Bueno went a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. Those three RBI gave Laster a new career-high. Connor Chan was another key player, going 1-for-3 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base.

Hayfield kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 12 hits. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Lewis didn't got any hits.

Hayfield's win was their seventh straight at home, which pushed their record up to 16-5. The home victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.7 runs over those games. As for Lewis, they are on a 14-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-14.

Hayfield didn't take long to hit the field again: they've already played their next contest, an 8-2 win against Falls Church on the 20th. Lewis does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
