Seymour got a good showing from Dannen Lavella, who struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and only one walk). The dominant performance gave Lavella a new career-high in strikeouts.

Meanwhile, South-Doyle suffered their biggest defeat since March 29, 2024 on Tuesday. They came up short against Christian Academy of Knoxville, falling 11-0. The Cherokees have struggled against the Warriors recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost meetings.
South-Doyle saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Landon Bates, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with one stolen base. That stolen base marked the first that Bates snagged this season.
Seymour came out on top in a nail-biter against South-Doyle in their previous matchup back in April of 2024, sneaking past 7-6. The rematch might be a little tougher for Seymour since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
