HAMILTON – The Hamilton Lions proved they could go toe-to-toe with East Union’s powerhouse on Thursday, securing a 6-3 win in Game 1 of their Class 2A third-round series.

“That team right there has been the dynasty to beat, so getting a win against them is good for our program, but there’s no time to celebrate,” Hamilton coach Dallas Flippo said. “We’ve got to do it again tomorrow night.”
