As for Lampasas, they are on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 18 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-6-2 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.4 runs on average over those games.
For Lampasas' part, JT Posten spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits.
