This is the second loss in a row for Cypress Creek and nudges their season record down to 7-7. Even worse, they were so close so many times: the losses came by an average of only one runs. As for Lecanto, their record now sits at 4-13.
Lecanto was able to grind out a solid victory over Cypress Creek when the teams last played on March 6th, winning 5-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Lecanto since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
