The Lawson Lightning will venture away from home to take on the Sycamore War Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Lawson is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 9.4 runs per game this season.

Lawson couldn't beat University School of Nashville on Thursday even though they stacked four runs on them in the third inning. The Lightning took a 9-6 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Tigers. It was the first time this season that the Lightning let down their fans at home.

Sawyer Moore was cooking despite his team's loss, going 3-for-4 with two stolen bases, one run, and one double. Keifer Bruck was another key player, getting on base in two of his four plate appearances with two stolen bases and one run.

Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sycamore). They blew past East Nashville Magnet 17-6 on Thursday. The high-scoring effort was just what the War Eagles needed considering they were shut out in their previous contest.

Sycamore got a big performance out of Jordan Briscoe, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one stolen base, two RBI, and one run. Those two RBI gave Briscoe a new career-high. Hazen Shirer also deserves some recognition as he brought in his first RBI of the season.

Sycamore always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .600. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.

The loss was their first at home, dropping their record down to 7-2. As for Sycamore, their victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 2-6.

Lawson's speedy runners might be the difference in Friday's matchup. The Lightning have been swiping bases left and right this season, having averaged 8.3 stolen bases per game. It's a different story for Sycamore, though, as they've been averaging only 1 stolen bases. Will they be able to secure the bases, or will Lawson continue to outrun the ball?
