Overland Park ? Starter Brandon Bell combined with relievers Parker Kirkpatrick and Easton Barnes to shut out Shawnee Mission West in an 8-0 Lawrence High baseball victory on Monday.

Shane Willoughby led the Lions (7-2) on offense, going 4-for-4 with two doubles and two stolen bases. CJ Stuever added a home run, three RBIs and a stolen base.

“We were very aggressive at the plate and on the base paths, and I thought we were effective at striking first,” LHS coach Brad Stoll said. “Brandon kept pumping strikes and threw a lot of ground balls. … I thought all three phases of the game we were really tough and played really good defense behind him.”

Lawrence High will open the River City Baseball Festival at 5:30 p.m., Thursday against Creighton Prep at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.
