Two teams were on the hunt for playoff glory, but only Lafayette walked away with it. They put the hurt on the Aucilla Christian Warriors with a sharp 12-3 win on Tuesday. The Hornets might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won ten contests by six runs or more this season.
Hyatt Richardson made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out ten batters over six innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 3-for-4 with three RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in March.
In other batting news, Dawson Cannon was incredible, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs, and one triple. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-high in RBI (two). Another player making a difference was Tywan Williamson, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
