The home team had come away the winner the last four times Bremen and Knox had met, but sadly for the fans who attended this one that wasn't the case. The Lions blew past the Redskins 11-2 on Thursday. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won eight matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

JJ Cencelewski was a major factor no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out eight over five innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two walks in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one double. That's the most hits he has posted over his last 11 games.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Silas Laidig, who went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI. That's the most stolen bases he has posted since back in May of 2024. Preston Williams was another key player, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.

Bremen's record now sits at 12-8-1. As for Knox, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 10-10 record this season.

The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Knox beat Bremen by a score of 19-7 on Friday.
