Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lucas). They put the hurt on the Mansfield Christian Flames with a sharp 13-1 win on Tuesday. While the Cubs didn't have the best season last year (they finished 9-14), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past.
Jaden Shaulis was a standout: he scored three runs and stole a base while going 2-for-2. That stolen base marked the first that he snagged this season. The team also got some help courtesy of Bobby Grover, who scored four runs and stole three bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Lucas always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .581. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
