Leo came tearing into Saturday's match with five straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 8.8 runs), and they left with even more momentum. They blew past the Mississinewa Indians 15-0. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won 13 games by six runs or more so far this season.
Nolan Butcher was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit over four innings pitched. Butcher was also solid in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his five plate appearances with two runs, one double, and one RBI.
In other batting news, Leo let Luke MacDonald and Dominic Rennecker run wild. MacDonald got on base in three of his four plate appearances with three RBI, one run, and one double, while Rennecker got on base in all three of his plate appearances with two runs and two RBI. Alex Robison was another key player, going 1-for-3 with two runs and two RBI.
Leo always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .571. That was just more of the same: they've now posted an OBP of .533 or higher in four consecutive contests.
Leo's victory was their 12th straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 18-2. The road wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 3.1 runs on average over those games. As for Mississinewa, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-10.
Leo will have a chance to go back-to-back against the Indians: the pair will be back at it again later today.
