Lyons came out on top against Weld Central on Tuesday thanks in part to the team's impressive six-run first inning. The Lions blew past the Rebels 11-2. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won seven games by eight runs or more so far this season.

Gretta Wynja spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on three hits and racked up 14 Ks. She has been nothing but reliable: she hasn't tossed less than six strikeouts in ten consecutive appearances.

At the plate, Ava Vasquez was incredible, going 3-for-5 with one home run, three runs, and one triple. That home run marked the first that she has launched this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Dahlia Oviatt, who went 1-for-4 with two runs, one triple, and two RBI.

Lyons' win was their eighth straight on the road dating back to last season, which pushed their record up to 8-3. Those road victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.5 runs on average over those games. As for Weld Central, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 4-6.

Both teams will have to hit the road in their upcoming games. Lyons will take on Timnath at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. The Cubs have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 9.73 runs per game on average), something the Lions will no doubt try to take advantage of. As for Weld Central, they will face off against Sterling at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Tigers have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 8.92 runs per game on average), something the Rebels will no doubt try to take advantage of.
