Leon had to skate by with only a two-run margin when they last took the field, which might have inspired the 15-run drubbing they dealt Brookwood on Saturday. The Leon Lions' pitchers stepped up to hand the Brookwood Warriors a 15-0 shutout. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three games by ten runs or more this season.
Hayden McNeill and Connor Borges were a major factor no matter where they played. On the mound, McNeill tossed one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Borges didn't allow a single earned run over four innings pitched. Furthermore, McNeill didn't allow a single walk, the first time he has blanked an opponent since back in April of 2024. At the plate, McNeill scored a run while going 1-for-4, while Borges went 3-for-5 with three runs, four RBI, and one stolen base. The dominant performance gave Borges a new career-high in runs.
In other batting news, Jacob Strunk was a standout: he scored three runs and stole a base while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Evans Franco was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 2-for-4.
