Sylvan-Lucas had lost nine straight on the road, but on Monday they dropped down to 6-13 to make it ten. They fell just short of the Ellinwood Eagles by a score of 6-5. If the Mustangs were looking for revenge after losing 12-2 to the Eagles when the teams met back in May of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.
As for Ellinwood, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-12 record this season. That's two games straight that they have won by just one run.
For Ellinwood's part, Cohen Gunn was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out six batters over two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit (and not a single walk). Gunn is becoming a predictor of Ellinwood's success: when he allows at most one hit the team is undefeated (and 8-12 when he doesn't). Gunn was also big at the plate, going 2-for-5 with two RBI. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in April.
Gunn wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Jaxon Burbank, who went a perfect 1-for-1 with one run and one RBI. Noah Herrman also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
The teams didn't have to wait long for a rematch: Ellinwood beat Sylvan-Lucas by a score of 15-5 later that day.
