Lakeside hasn't had much luck against Geneva recently, but that could start to change on Monday. The Dragons will look to defend their home field against the Eagles at 4:30 p.m. Lakeside is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.8 runs per game this season.
Lakeside will roll into the game after a wild two-game stretch: they didn't score any runs on Wednesday, then bounced right back against Struthers on Friday. The Dragons put the hurt on the Wildcats with a sharp 17-3 victory. The home team had taken home the W every time these teams have met since April 22, 2022, but that streak is no more.
Natalie Myers spent all six innings played on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered just two earned (and one unearned) runs on two hits and racked up six Ks.
