Leon Lions Keep Roaring

While Buchholz has had a solid start to the season, it now must travel to Tallahassee to play Leon High School.

The Lions are coming off of a dominating 15-0 mercy rule blowout against Rickards High School (1-2). The Lions recorded eleven runs in the third inning. The game was mercy-ruled in the fourth. This was the third game of the season that the Lions have recorded double-digit runs.

The Lions’ hitting has been very strong to start the year, with six different players riding batting averages of .500. The Lions have recorded eight or more hits in three out of four games, two of them finishing in the double-digits.

Chase Davis has impressed on the mound for the Lions, allowing only four hits through six innings pitched this season.

If the Bobcats hope to win, it will come down to how explosive their hitting will be and how many runs they can generate against Leon.
