Leon barely beat Bay the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. The Lions were the clear victors by a 12-2 margin over the Tornadoes on Tuesday. The Lions might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 12 matchups by seven runs or more this season.
The team relied heavily on Kolbe Baker, who went 2-for-3 with one home run, two runs, and two RBI. Kyland Keaton was another key player, scoring two runs.
Leon always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .562. The last time their OBP was this high was back in February.
Meanwhile, Wakulla lost 9-1 to Marianna on Wednesday.

Leon has been performing well recently as they've won five of their last six games. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-8 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 1.3 runs on average over those games. As for Wakulla, their loss was their fourth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 12-10.
Everything went Leon's way against Wakulla in their previous matchup back in March, as Leon made off with an 8-1 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Lions since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
