Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lutheran West). Everything went their way against the Brooklyn Hurricanes on Tuesday as they made off with a 21-6 victory. Considering the Longhorns have won five contests by more than seven runs this season, Tuesday's blowout was nothing new.
The team relied heavily on Brandon Schneider, who got on base in five of his six plate appearances with four runs, two stolen bases, and one double. He is becoming a predictor of Lutheran West's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 2-3 when he doesn't). The team also got some help courtesy of Vincent Lopez, who went 3-for-5 with three runs and one RBI.
