Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Lakeland). They were the clear victors by a 14-7 margin over the Tunkhannock Tigers on Thursday. The high-flying hitting performance was a huge turnaround for the Chiefs considering their two-run performance the match before.
Lakeland got a great performance from Justin King as he tossed five innings while giving up just two earned (and two unearned) runs off seven hits. What's more, King posted four strikeouts, the most he's had since back in April.
At the plate, the team relied heavily on Evan Lonzinski, who went a perfect 3-for-3 with three runs, one double, and one RBI. Those three runs gave him a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Gavin Zellers, who went 1-for-3 with two runs.
Lakeland kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. They are a perfect 3-0 when they post 11 or more hits.
The victory made it two in a row for Lakeland and bumps their season record up to 7-13. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 8.0 runs over those games. As for Tunkhannock, their loss dropped their record down to 2-18.
