Posted Jun 4/12 - Lakers sneak out of New Germany with a win
Wasn't the way the script was written but in the end the Lakers pulled out an 8-7 victory over the New Germany Dutchmen Sunday June 3. Down 7-2 after 3 the Lakers brought in Ronnie Olson who shut the Dutchman down for 5 innings. Scoring 1 in the 6th and the 8th brought the score to 7-4 entering the ninth. A hit batter and 2 walks brought up Jeremy Salden with the tying runs aboard and 2 outs. He delivered a double tying the game and was then driven in himself with a Nick Litfin single putting the Lakers ahead 8-7. Ben Smothers came in to shut down the top of the Dutchman lineup in order and the Lakers walked away with the win.
