Lone Jack can't be too worried about heading out to take on Adrian: they just beat Lafayette County at home, who had been dominant on their own field up to that point. The Mules put the hurt on the Huskers with a sharp 16-5 win on Monday. Considering the Mules have won 18 contests by more than five runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Adrian).
