The Legacy Longhorns will venture away from home to take on the Shadow Ridge Mustangs at 3:30 p.m. on Friday. Legacy is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 6.3 runs per game this season.
Legacy barely beat Clark the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Legacy was the clear victor by a 13-7 margin over Clark on Thursday. The Longhorns haven't had any issues with the Chargers recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive win against them.
Easton Lake was incredible, going 3-for-5 with three doubles, two runs, and one stolen base. Those three doubles gave him a new career-high. Hunter Campbell also deserves some recognition as he snagged his first stolen base of the season.
Legacy was getting hits left and right and finished the game having posted a batting average of .400. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Clark only posted a batting average of .250.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Shadow Ridge). They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Centennial 11-9. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Mustangs have posted since February 28th.
The team relied heavily on Marco Montesanti, who went a perfect 4-for-4 with two triples, five RBI, and one double. Samuel Stahl was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
