But in the seventh, Wilson centerfielder Aaron Hicks (2-4, 3 RBI) knocked a two-run double off the wall and knocked Johnson out of the game, making the score 6-3.&nbsp; Max McEleney (2-4, 1 RBI) cashed Harris in off the first pitch from relief pitcher Derrick Dingman, which brought the tying run to the plate in third baseman Zach Wilson (1-3). <\/p>\n<p>Wilson leads the Bruins and the Moore League in most offensive categories, but his hard liner was caught by a leaping Matt Duffy (1-4, RBI) at shortstop, who then spun quickly and doubled up McEleney at first, igniting the Lancer celebration of their 6-4 win.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson starter Tommy Nance was no slouch, either.&nbsp; With the score tied 1-1 headed into the sixth, Nance had given up only two hits on just 50 pitches.&nbsp; With a man on first and no outs, Lakewood catcher Jonathan Keener (1-3, 2R, SB) hit a line drive into center.&nbsp; Hicks charged the short hop, and the ball scooted under his glove and rolled to the warning track.<\/p>\n<p>That opened the floodgates, and the Lancers tacked on three more hits and four more runs in the inning.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Johnson was disappointed with not going the distance, but excited like his teammates as Lakewood continues to roll along.<\/p>\n<p><object height=\"307\" width=\"366\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/R4nNxkbYjBA&amp;hl=en\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/R4nNxkbYjBA&amp;hl=en\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" height=\"307\" width=\"366\"><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","inline_featured_image":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":"","_":"","_author_alias":"","cap-aim":"","cap-description":"","cap-display_name":"","cap-first_name":"","cap-jabber":"","cap-last_name":"","cap-linked_account":"","cap-newspack_employer":"","cap-newspack_job_title":"","cap-newspack_phone_number":"","cap-newspack_role":"","cap-user_email":"","cap-user_login":"","cap-website":"","cap-yahooim":"","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_email_html":"","newspack_email_type":"","newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_hide_page_title":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_show_share_buttons":"","newspack_sponsor_byline_prefix":"","newspack_sponsor_disclaimer_override":"","newspack_sponsor_flag_override":"","newspack_sponsor_only_direct":"","newspack_sponsor_url":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-5844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5844\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5844"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=5844"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lbpost.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=5844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
