Lyons saw five different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Davis Abernathy, who went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run.
On Valley's side, Anthony Soliz spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned (and three unearned) runs on four hits and racked up 12 Ks.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Lyons will take on Estes Park at 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.
