There's no place like home for Lafayette, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Wednesday. They never let the York Falcons get on the board and left with a 5-0 win on Friday. This was a revenge game for the Rams: when they faced off against the Falcons back in April, they had to take a 7-6 loss.
The result came thanks to Brady Isaksen's shutout, as he gave up just six hits and racked up 11 Ks. He has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in 11 consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Lafayette let Derek Magallon and Jake Hanson run wild. Magallon went 2-for-3 with two runs and one stolen base, while Hanson went 2-for-3 with two RBI, one run, and one double. Those two RBI gave Hanson a new career-high. Ian Ji was another key player, going 2-for-3 with one double and one RBI.
