Posted Jun 9/13 - Lakers Split over Weekend

The Waconia Lakers took down the defending Class B champs Friday night then followed up with their first loss of the season on Saturday.  Waconia took down the State Champion Victoria Vics on Friday evening, in which  Chris Bullis went all 9 innings only giving up 9 earned runs in the win.  His bat was key driving in 4 runs on two base hits, including one double.  Jeremy Salden had 3 hits with a monster Solo home run.  "It was my first home run in 2 years because my back has been really sore," Salden said.  It was a back and forth batttle early in the game, but the Lakers started to pull away until a Victoria 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth.  With two outs and the game on the line Chris Bullis got the last out of the game.  "I knew my 140th pitch would be my best," Bullis yelled walking off the mound with the victory.

 

Waconia took its first loss of the season on Saturday against the New Germany Dutchmen.  The Lakers got off to a slow start not scoring until the 5th inning with a 2 run base hit from Ben Smothers.  The Lakers then struck again in the 8th, with two men on and a ground ball to third the third baseman threw it away allowing one runner to score, but the next runner was thrown out at home keeping the score at 4-3.  In the 9th inning with Lakers on 1st and 2nd and two outs, Jeremy Salden looked to have tied the game with a single to right, until the New Germany right fielder sprawled out to catch the ball inches before hitting the ground to end the game.  Steve Mielke seduced the Laker batters for all 9 innings caputuring the win for New Germany.  "I felt like a kid again today," Mielke said after the game.  Josh Lenz took the loss pitching 7 innings in his first appearance for the Lakers.  Kevin Bullis was the lone bright spot supplying 3 hits in the game.
