Lane Gilbert Game Report: vs Westside Christian

Lane Gilbert was a major factor in Banks's win over Westside Christian on Friday. Gilbert struck out nine batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off three hits, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long. He is becoming a predictor of Banks' success: when he allows at most two earned runs the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).

Looking ahead, Gilbert and Banks will look to defend their home field on Monday against Corbett at 4:00 p.m. The last time Gilbert duked it out with the Cardinals (back in May of 2024), the Braves came out on top by a score of 12-0.
