The Lakin Broncs will head out to challenge the Sublette Larks at 4:00 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
16 must be Lakin's lucky number: they beat Elkhart with that score not once but twice on Tuesday. The Broncs beat the Wildcats by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 16-1. The Broncs haven't had any issues with the Wildcats recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive victory against them.
Lileah Villa was a standout: she went a perfect 2-for-2 with one home run, three RBI, and one stolen base. That home run was her first of the season. Paityn Ansel was another key player, getting on base in all three of her plate appearances with two stolen bases, two runs, and one RBI.
Lakin always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .720. That's the best OBP they've posted all season.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Sublette). They were the clear victors by a 21-6 margin over Elkhart last Tuesday. The Larks might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won three matches by ten runs or more this season.
The win made it two in a row for Sublette and bumps their season record up to 3-4-1. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered a grand total of 6 runs in those games. As for Lakin, their record now sits at 3-7.
Lakin took their win against Sublette in their previous meeting back in April of 2024 by a conclusive 13-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Broncs since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
