Olathe ? The Lawrence High baseball team stole 10 bases and routed Olathe South, 13-5, on Tuesday.
Ross Johnson led the Lions with four steals. C.J. Roush, who went 3-for-4 with a double, had three.
“Our running game caused a lot of problems for them,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said.
The Lions garnered 17 hits against the Falcons. Shane Willoughby went 3-for-4 with a double. Matt Sutliffe added four RBIs and Troy Willoughby went 3-for-5 with a bases-loaded triple.
Jake Johnson earned the victory, giving up two earned runs in five innings and striking out five.

The Lions open the festival against six-time defending champions Kansas City Bishop Ward at 5 p.m. Thursday at Hoglund Ballpark.
