“I really had my 'A' stuff, but I just had to throw strikes and let my defense do work,” Lucas said.

It was his fourth win of the season bringing his record to 4-3. He has also picked up a couple of saves this year.

“It’s fun when you win the first one,” he said about the Saturday double-header. “You go out and have the momentum for the second one and it makes for a fun day.”

Lucas and the Warriors have a lot of baseball left to play, seven games before the postseason to be exact. Their last regular-season game will be at 5:30 p.m. on May 19 at Alton.
