Lakeside barely beat Conneaut the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Dragons' pitcher stepped up to hand the Spartans a 14-0 shutout on Tuesday. The game marked the Dragons' most dominant victory of the season.
Anthony Wooten made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only one hit while striking out ten over five innings pitched. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Lakeside is 2-1 when he allows at most three earned runs, but 2-7 otherwise. Wooten was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-3 with three runs and two RBI. Those two RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Matt Wagner was incredible, going 2-for-3 with three runs, four RBI, and two doubles. Lakeside is 2-1 when Wagner posts two or more runs, but 2-7 otherwise. Jackson Stills also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
Lakeside always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .514. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Conneaut only posted an OBP of .059.
