The Lyons Lions will head out on the road to face off against the Forge Christian Fury at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Lyons is headed out to face Forge Christian after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Lyons put the hurt on Liberty Common with a sharp 9-1 win on March 6th.
Zack LaCrosse and Jake LaCrosse made a big impact no matter where they played. On the mound, LaCrosse struck out six batters over four innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits (and not a single walk). Meanwhile, Jake pitched three innings while giving up no earned runs off two hits. At the plate, LaCrosse scored two runs and stole a base while going 2-for-3, while Jake scored three runs and stole two bases while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. That's the most stolen bases Jake has posted since back in May of 2024.
