Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lakewood). They never let the Union Spartans get on the board and left with an 18-0 victory on Monday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Leopards considering their two-run performance the game before.
Reed Ammons was incredible, going 3-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one triple. He is becoming a predictor of Lakewood's success: when he posts at least three RBI the team is undefeated (and 0-6 when he doesn't). Samuel Johnson was another key player, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs, one stolen base, and two RBI.
