Lightridge took care of business in their home opener (and then some) on Monday. They were the clear victor by a 9-1 margin over the Freedom Eagles. The Bolts have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Eagles, too.
Peyton Robinson spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up 14 Ks.
