The Lyle-Pacelli baseball team's perfect start to the season rolled on Tuesday, as they powered past Schaeffer Academy 10-0 in a five-inning victory in Rochester. The win keeps LP's unblemished record intact at 4-0 overall.
The story of the game was a dominant performance on the mound from Jake Kiker. The pitcher was virtually untouchable, firing a complete-game, one-hit shutout. He overpowered hitters all afternoon, racking up nine strikeouts across his five innings of work to secure the win.
While Kiker silenced the bats, the LP offense provided more than enough support. The lineup was firing on all cylinders, led by Banning Korfhage, who went 3-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Landon Phan also delivered a key performance, driving in three runs on two hits. This kind of balanced attack, combining lockdown pitching with timely hitting, is a recipe for a long and successful season.
