KNOX - LaVille traveled to Knox for a Hoosier North Athletic Conference game May 9. The Lancers managed two hits - one by Lucas Plummer and Collin Czarnecki - but could not push a run across in a 6-0 loss to the Redskins. Coach Brian Lawler's club were able to get runners in scoring position with one out in the top of the 4th inning, but were unable to score. Plummer started the top of the 6th with a single but the next two batters hit into a fielder's choice and a strikeout closed the inning. LHS moves to 11-6 overall and 8-2 in the Hoosier North. Knox improved to 3-11 and 3-8. Lawler's Crew remains atop the HHNAC standings, but with the loss has just a half-game lead over North Judson-San Pierre. Both teams have two losses, with LaVille at eight wins and the Blue Jars have seven conference victories. Pitching once again was tough for both teams. Raymond Boyd and Plummer combined for 21 strikeouts. Boyd went the distance for Knox, allowing two hits, no earned runs and one walk. Plummer took the loss on the bump, finishing five innings of one hit ball, five walks and 10 strikeouts. Knox will travel to LaVille for the final game of the HNAC series May 10 in Lakeville.
