Brillion proved they can win big last Friday (they won by six) and on Thursday they proved they can win the close ones too. They sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 2-1 victory over the Omro Foxes. The win was familiar territory for the Lions, who have now won three matches in a row.

Joe Shimek spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up six Ks. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in eight consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, the team relied heavily on Hayden Cousin, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two stolen bases and one RBI. He is becoming a predictor of Brillion's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is undefeated (and 9-10 when he doesn't).
Brillion pushed their record up to 12-10 with the victory, which was their third straight at home. The home wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 7.7 runs over those games. As for Omro, they have been struggling recently as they've lost ten of their last 11 contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-17 record this season.
As of now, neither Brillion nor Omro have any future games scheduled.
