Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Leroy Greene Academy). They never let the Elite Eagles get on the board and left with a 21-0 victory on Monday. The high-scoring effort was just what the Lions needed considering they were shut out in their previous match.
Philip Jones made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he kept things locked down with no earned runs or hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Leroy Greene Academy is 2-1 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-6 otherwise. Jones was also big at the plate, going a perfect 1-for-1 with two runs, one triple, and one RBI. That RBI was his first of the season.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Maison Wunder, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with seven RBI, three runs, and one double. Another player making a difference was Juan Salazar, who scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in all three of his plate appearances.
