A feisty cat fight will be fought as Gateway Panthers challenge Lake Nona Lions at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. Gateway is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 8.4 runs per game this season.
Gateway fought the good fight in their extra-innings match against Poinciana on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Eagles by a score of 7-6. The Panthers' loss signaled the end of their three-game winning streak.
Maicol Santiago put in work no matter where he played. He pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. The dominant performance also gave him a new career-low in walks (zero). He was also solid in the batter's box, scoring a run and stealing a base while getting on base in three of his five plate appearances. He has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.
In other batting news, Adrian Just made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and scored two runs and stole a base while going 1-for-5.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lake Nona). Everything went their way against Innovation on Wednesday as Lake Nona made off with a 17-6 win. Considering the Lions have won six contests by more than five runs this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.
The victory made it two in a row for Lake Nona and bumps their season record up to 11-7. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 14.0 runs over those games. As for Gateway, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-6.
