“Jacob Lazear and Reed Wilharm were very efficient and dominant on the mound,” Madonna coach TJ Miller said. “Both did a great job at mixing up their speeds and hitting their spots. We played good defense behind them and collected 20 hits on the day. So, it was a very good day for us. We still need to improve on not leaving so many runners on base, but we will keep working at it. I am extremely proud of the boys today. They are buying in, and we are getting better each time out.”
