Lux Advances to Winner’s Bracket Final Four

Lux Homes U-16 opened double-elimination play with a 13-0 win over the Grand Valley Stixx on Wednesday afternoon. Lux broke the game open in the top of the seventh, scoring nine times on six hits to extend the lead to 13-0. Jake Reppert was dominant in the win, pitching the first five innings allowing just 2 hits and a walk while striking out eight. Trevor Dunlap and Zac Brandon threw the sixth and seventh innings respectively, combining to throw just 18 pitches in the process.

Offensively, the contributions came from multiple places. The 4-5-6 combination of Colin Tremblay, Brian Sinclair and Dan McMillan combined to go 7-for-14 with 5 runs scored and 3 RBI. John Shimabukuro was 1-2 with three RBI, Matt Stefansson singled, doubled and scored three times and Zac Brandon had 2 hits and 2 RBI. In an unsung role, Matt Hill was 1-for-1 with an RBI single, a walk and two sacrifice bunts.

The win advances LB into the winner’s bracket final four to face the winner of the Eastlake Tigers and Albequerque Baseball Academy. That game will take place on Thursday at 11:30 am at Canyon View Park.
