Griffins take care of business on the road 🔥

Lincoln Way East heads down to Tennessee and delivers a statement win over Briarcrest (TN), locking in a gritty 4-2 victory to stay perfect at 6-0 on the season.

On the mound, Purdue commit Cooper Johnson was lights out—dealing 4 strikeouts across 4 shutout innings to set the tone.

At the plate, Casey Mikrut couldn’t miss, going a flawless 3-for-3, while Case Templin added a strong 2-for-3 performance to power the offense.

Undefeated. Rolling 🧢- ⚾️ @LWEastBaseball

Six balls struck at 97-plus mph (100.7 max).
