It may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Decatur ultimately got the result they hoped for on Tuesday. They had just enough and edged out the Lawton Blue Devils 8-7. That result was just more of the same for these two, as the Raiders also won the last time the pair played back in May of 2022.
The team relied heavily on Brayden Avery, who went 1-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs. Another player making a difference was Rowan Bradford, who went 1-for-4 with four RBI and one run.
The victory made it two in a row for Decatur and bumps their season record up to 20-8. They've had to fight for that success though, as they only beat their opponents by an average of 1.5 runs across that stretch. As for Lawton, they have traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-9 record this season.
Decatur will have a chance to go back-to-back against Lawton: the pair will be back at it again later today.
