Mid-Buchanan lost a heartbreaker the last time they played Lawson, but it's fair to say they got their revenge given the result of Tuesday's contest. The Dragons put the hurt on the Cardinals with a sharp 11-1 victory on Tuesday. Considering the Dragons have won ten matchups by more than five runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.

Kaylea Myers tossed a big game, striking out seven batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off five hits (and not a single walk). She has been nothing but reliable on the mound: she hasn't given up more than one earned run any time she's pitched this season.

On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Zuzu Kountz, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI she has posted since back in October of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Sophia Smith, who went 1-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.

Mid-Buchanan was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .435. That was just more of the same: they've now posted a batting average of .318 or higher in eight consecutive games.

Mid-Buchanan is on a roll lately: they've won 13 of their last 17 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 17-6 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.2 runs over those games. As for Lawson, they now have a losing record of 3-4.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Mid-Buchanan will welcome Maryville at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Spoofhounds have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 15.83 runs per game on average), something the Dragons will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Lawson, they will host North Platte at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Panthers' pitching crew has only allowed four runs per game this season, so the Cardinals' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
