The home diamonds were kind to the Lone Tree summer teams on Thursday when they downed Winfield-Mt. Union in a pair of KCII area showdowns. 

The Lion baseball team scored all their runs in the third, fourth, and fifth frames en route to a 7-1 victory over the Wolves. Five singles came from five different batters with Tyler Bell bringing in two runs to lead the offense. Cade Patterson picked up the win on the hill tossing five innings surrendering just one run and one hit with six punch outs. Lone Tree improved to 4-5 overall and 4-4 in the Southeast Iowa Super Conference. WMU is now 0-9 including 0-8 in the league. 

Trailing 5-3 in the fourth, the Lion softball bats tied the game in the fourth and took a lead in the fifth they never relinquished in a 9-7 win. They also finished with five hits led by Avery Grover having a double and Hogan Eden bringing in two tallies. Arlie Lorack tossed a complete game surrendering seven runs (two earned) on eight hits. The Lions improve to 6-6 and 4-5 in the league. The Wolves’ 4-5 mark are all conference games.
