Lambert’s baseball team has developed a habit this year of shortening its games, doing so by closing the fifth inning with double-digit leads and forcing the mercy rule. So it came as no surprise that the Longhorns, who finished the regular season with a perfect 26-0 record, continued that kind of dominance in the opening round of the playoffs. Taking on Dacula to start the Class AAAAAA tournament, Lambert’s bats were as alive as ever, sweeping Friday’s double header, 15-3 and 16-3, to advance to the next round.
