The Lake Blue Streaks are taking a road trip to take on the Alliance Aviators at 5:00 p.m. on Monday. Lake's pitching crew has only allowed 3.3 runs per game this season, so Alliance's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Lake barely beat Aurora the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Blue Streaks were the clear victors by an 8-2 margin over the Greenmen on Saturday. The win made it back-to-back victories for the Blue Streaks.
Dylan Sponseller spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on one hit and racked up seven Ks.

On the hitting side, Josh Lippe and Noah Kubasky did most of the damage at the plate: Lippe went 3-for-4 with three doubles, three RBI, and one run, while Kubasky went a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base, and one double. Lake is undefeated when Kubasky posts two or more runs, but 7-8 otherwise. The team also got some help courtesy of Joe Woodin, who went 2-for-4 with two runs and two doubles.
They weren't the only ones making solid contact: Lake kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Alliance waltzed into their game on Thursday with six straight wins... but they left with seven. They beat the Lions by the very same score they won with in their prior game: 9-8.
Alliance's victory was their sixth straight at home, which pushed their record up to 17-5. Those home wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 4.0 runs on average over those games. As for Lake, their record is now 12-8.
Lake took their victory against Alliance in their previous meeting back in May of 2022 by a conclusive 10-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Blue Streaks since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
