PUEBLO – The rematch was a different story – which wasn’t a good thing for the Lyons baseball team. A week after upsetting No. 1 ranked Limon 5-1 in the second round of the Class 2A state tournament, the Lions couldn’t rinse and repeat with a duplicate performance. Instead, Limon jumped out on top with a four-run first inning and the Lions could never recover, dropping an 8-3 decision Friday at Hobbs Field at the Runyon Field Sports Complex in the double-elimination tournament.
