Posted Jul 10/11 - The Lakers win 7-5 on an amazing comeback
Down 5-0 in the 8th inning on a hot Saturday afternoon without their 1 and 2 hitters, it appeared as though the Lakers were close to defeat.  Fortunately, Waconia's bats woke up just in time. 

The top of the 8th inning started out promising with a single by Jeff Chrest.  However, the next batter grounded into a 6-4-3 double play (the 4th of the day).  With 2 outs and no one on base, the Lakers fought for two runs on four straight hits by Justin Klinglehutz, Nick Litfin, Chris Bullis and Jeremy Salden.

Going into the 9th inning down 5-2, the afternoon was still looking grim.  However, the Lakers showed tremendous resilience in the 9th.  They were able to score 5 runs off of three different Hamburg pitchers.  The rally was started by the bottom of the lineup; the 7-8-9 hitters all reached base and scored runs.  Brandon Hebig had a big day, going 2-4 with a run scored and an RBI.  Waconia added an insurance run when Litfin stole home to put the Lakers up 7-5 going into the bottom of the ninth.

Chris Bullis pitched the final inning to record the save.
