King's game last Monday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Thursday. They never let the Lennard Longhorns get on the board and left with a 1-0 win. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest victory the Lions have posted since April 23, 2024.
King's win was truly a team effort as five different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was Nicholas Brown, who scored a run while going 2-for-3.
King is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-8 record this season. A key ingredient in that success has been their performance when it comes to hits: they averaged an imposing 9.5 hits in those games compared to only 5.25 in the others. Lennard's defeat was their third straight at home, which dropped their record down to 4-7.
