Posted Jun 13/11 - Waconia Sneaks Past St. Boni 9-8 in 11 Innings
In their first game decided by less than three runs and first extra inning game, the Lakers found a way to get the job done.  With a run in the top of the 11th inning, Waconia defeated the Saints 9-8.

St. Boni led most of the game with leads of 2-0, 5-2, and 6-4.  The Lakers struck for four runs in the top of the seventh inning to take an 8-6 lead.  The inning started with three straight hits off the bats of Ben Smothers, Peter Brown, and Jeremy Salden.  Waconia took the lead on a 2 RBI triple by Nick Litfin, who was later driven in by Jeff Chrest. 

The Saints responded immediately in the bottom of the seventh inning, scoring two runs to tie the game at 8.  After three scorless innings, the Lakers broke the tie in the top of the 11th inning.  Litfin led off with a walk, stole second, then later scored on a sacrifice fly by Chrest.

Craig Laplante started the game for Waconia and pitched six strong innings.  Smothers pitched three scoreless innings in relief to record the win.  Andrew Fredericksen picked up the save.

The Lakers pieced together many runs on stolen bases, even getting contributions in the category from LaPlante and Salden.  Chrest and Brown led the Lakers with three hits a piece.
