Florence – Sometimes it’s a good thing to step away from the friendly confines of home. Such was the case for LMA as the Swampcats edged Florence Christian 5-4 last Friday evening at FC’s field.

Coach Steve Belangia’s team picked up their second regular season win, and, more importantly, earned a region victory.

Matt Mays pitched yet another jewel of a game, picking up the win and yielding just two hits.

Leading the offensive attack was a trio of Swampcats. Ryan McNair, Jack Martin and Heath Smith got two hits apiece to lead LMA.
