Oak Grove Lutheran had lost four straight on the road, but on Wednesday they dropped their record down to 6-10 to make it five. They lost 13-3 to the Lisbon Broncos. Unfortunately, that's the third time they've come up short against the Broncos this season, with their most recent loss being a 13-0 defeat last Tuesday.
As for Lisbon, they are on a roll lately: they've won ten of their last 13 matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 13-5 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.2 runs on average over those games.
For Lisbon's part, Jaxon Hoffer was a major factor while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he pitched five innings while giving up just two earned (and one unearned) runs off eight hits. Hoffer has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than one walk in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going 1-for-2 with two runs and one stolen base. That's the most runs he has posted since back in April.
In other batting news, Cam Cordero and Jordyn Bittner did most of the damage at the plate: Cordero got on base in all four of his plate appearances with four stolen bases, four runs, and one RBI, while Bittner got on base in all four of his plate appearances with three runs, three RBI, and one stolen base. Bittner is becoming a predictor of Lisbon's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-5 when he doesn't). Another player making a difference was Eli Lyons, who went 2-for-3 with one triple, two RBI, and one run.
As of now, neither Oak Grove Lutheran nor Lisbon have any future games scheduled.
