| KINGHAM THROWS 3 HITTER STRIKING OUT 11 AS LIONS SUBDUE GRIZZLIES 13-0 |
| Nick Kingham faced only 20 batters in 6 innings, giving up 3 hits and striking out 11. He did not walk a batter and got some outstanding defensive plays to back him up. After striking out the first 2 batters in the 1st inning, Aaron Blair hit a ball over Dusty Stevens head in left field that short hopped the fence. Stevens caught the ball on the bounce and hit Jake Hager with a perfect throw, who relayed to Billy Santiwan to tag out the sliding Blair at 2nd base. Kingham retired the next 7 hitters in a row, 4 by strike outs, before Tyler Kartler hit a ball down the right field foul line that landed fair and bounced into the bullpen area. It would have been a double but it got by Alex Estrella allowing Kartler to get to 3rd base. Kingham got Blair to ground out to Connor Klein and struck out Johnny Hernandex to end the threat. Kingham moved his record to 5-0 on the year and dropped his earned run average to 0.87. This was also his 3rd complete game of the season. Klein turned in another outstanding game at 3rd base handling 4 ground ball chances, one a slow roller and another a back hand down the line. Offensively the Lions were held to 3 hits and no runs in the 1st 4 innings as the Grizzlies seamed to be everywhere the Lions hit the ball. Several well hit balls went for nothing as they left 2 runners on base. In the 5th inning Spring Valley (7-5-1, 3-2) allowed the 1st 3 runners on |

Marquis Towers drove in the second with a fielders choice ground ball to the 2nd baseman and Jake Hager got the 3rd RBI on a deep fly to left center to score Goldsack. That was more than enough runs for Kingham but the Lions (15-4, 5-0) put up a 10 spot in the 6th inning as they had 9 hits and the Grizzlies had another 3 errors. Kingham had the big blow as he hit his 7th home run of the season with 1 on base. The 2 RBIs give him 30 on the year, 6 ahead of Hager. It was Kingham's10th multi hit game and 8th multi RBI game. Santiwan led the offense with 3 hits on the day and extended his hitting streak to 6 games. Julian Cutolo was 2 for 4, to move his average to a team leading .526. Cutolo has hit safely in the last 11 games and has 10 multi hit games. Hager extended his consective hit games to 13. The Lions are off until Monday when they host Reno at 3:30.
