Lyons came out on top against Hinsdale Central on Tuesday thanks in part to the team's impressive six-run fourth inning. The Lions were the clear victors by an 11-1 margin over the Red Devils. The result was nothing new for the Lions, who have now won 13 matchups by seven runs or more so far this season.

Dylan Justinich spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered a run (which was unearned) on three hits and racked up eight Ks. Those eight strikeouts set a new season-high mark for him.

At the plate, the team relied heavily on Blake Ragsdale, who went 1-for-3 with one home run, two stolen bases, and two runs. The team also got some help courtesy of Cam Clarke, who went 3-for-4 with three RBI.

They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Lyons kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 11 hits. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now got at least eight hits in three consecutive contests.

Lyons' victory was their fifth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-6. The home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.0 runs on average over those games. As for Hinsdale Central, their record now sits at 10-12.

Coming up, Hinsdale Central will take on Lemont in a tournament on Wednesday. Lyons will be paying especially close attention to the Red Devils' game: after the Red Devils face off against the Lemont HS, they'll take on Lyons again at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
