It wasn't a great weekend for the Lakers but they accomplished a second place finish falling to to Green Isle Irish 7-1 on Saturday, then beat the Winsted Wildcats 12-7 later that night, then fell again to the Irish 4-0 Sunday.

Irish pitching by Mac Zachow and Pat Gullickson just dominated the Laker bats this weekend.

In the first game Ben Smothers led off the game with a towering home run against Zachow and things looked pretty good, but they were held in check with only that one hit till he left the game in the 9th inning. The Lakers then loaded the bases with a couple extra hits from Brandon Hebig and Nick Litfin  and a walk to Dan Butz but even with no outs the Lakers were unable to get anything going. The Irish were able to put up 3 runs in the 2nd, 2 in the 5th, and 2 in the 7th, giving them a 7-1 victory.

In the second game vs. the Winsted Wildcats the Lakers put together a true team game with everyone contributing. In the 2nd inning Dalton Sawyer got things going with a single, stoled second then scored on a Peter Brown double putting them ahead 1-0.

That lead was short lived as Winsted rolled up 5 runs in the 3rd inning. In the 4th the Lakers now felt the heat to their backs but Jeremy Salden and Sawyer reached on errors and scored as Eric Durkin came through with a clutch single making the score now 5-3. The Wildcats weren't dead yet and put another run on the board so after 4 it was 6-3. In the 6th again it was Brown and Durkin getting on base with a walk and a single, Nick Litfin then drove in Brown with a single of his own,  Winsted adds 1, score now 7-5, but the Lakers had all the momentum from that point on..

The 7th inning saw Ronnie Olson leading off with a double followed by an RBI single by Tom Lyons who also later scored on a fielders choice. Score now 7-7, and that was it for the Wildcats. In the 8th Dan Butz, pinch hit and delivered a single, Litfin sacrificed him over to 2nd with a nice bunt, Ben Smothers was hit by a pitch, Ronnie Olson walked, followed by a Tom Lyons Sacrifice Fly giving the Lakers their first lead of the game Then walks to Salden, another single by Sawyer, consecutive walks to Brown, Durkin, Butz,and a hit by pitch to Litfin and the Lakers now held a commanding 12-7 lead that they road to the end.

Sunday again vs the Irish the pitching was to strong for this day. the Lakers were only able to get singles from Chris Bullis, Dalton Sawyer and Nick Litfin spread out throughout the 9 innings. Chris Bullis threw a tough game but gave up 2 in the 7th, 1 in the 8th and another in the 9th as the Lakers dropped a 4-0 decision.
