Lincoln Way East was firing on all cylinders in a dominant 15-0 shutout victory over St. Rita 🔥⚾️
Owen “O-Dawg” Lense picks up the win, while Bryson Das slammed the door shut to complete the combined shutout performance on the mound 💪🏽
The Griffins exploded offensively with 12 hits in just 4 innings, led by Cooper Johnson who went a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate. Then 3B Tyler Hudik delivered the dagger with a massive �� in the 3rd inning to put the game completely out of reach.
The Griffins keep rollin’ into postseason form with a 29-4 record and just one regular season game left before playoff time 🧢
