LHS baseball falls to Bishop Kelley

? Lawrence High’s baseball team fell, 7-3, to Bishop Kelly, the No. 1 team in Oklahoma’s Class 5A, on Monday.

The Lions took a 3-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning, but couldn’t sustain it.

Bishop Kelley scored two runs in the bottom of the frame and then four in the fifth inning to secure the victory.

“That’s what kind of bummed us out,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “We took a lead and we couldn’t sustain that lead. That’s a little disconcerting. But we’ll hopefully learn from that how to not only hold leads, but keep adding to leads.”

LHS fell to 0-2.

The Lions will travel to Blue Springs South (Mo.) on March 29.

“Our goal is to be the best team around at the end of May, and that’s what we’re working toward,” Stoll said.
