Posted Jun 12/13 - Waconia Beats Young America

The Lakers got back to their winning ways on Tuesday night with a 10-5 victory over the Young America Cardinals.  The Lakers got on the board first scoring in the top of the 2nd inning on a sac fly by Jeff Chrest scoring Jeremy Salden, who led off the inning with a walk.  After YA tied it up the Lakers scored in three consecutive innings going up 8-1, with the biggest hit coming from Tom "Train" Lyons hitting a moonshot over the left center fence for a two-run home run.  "I only hit homeruns at Young America's field, period," Lyons exclaimed in the dugout.  Evan Buhr got his 4th win for the Lakers and looked sharp until YA scraped a couple hits together threatening to make a comeback in the bottom of the 7th inning.  Ronnie Olson relieved Buhr with the bases loaded and nobody out and gave up a hit that scored two runs but then shut the door for the rest of the game getting the save.  The Lakers added a couple insurance runs in the 9th to take a final lead of 10-5.  The Lakers ended the night with 18 hits getting 3 from Tom "Train" Lyons and Ronnie Olsen.  The Smothers brothers, Craig LaPlante and Jeremy Salden had multi-hit games of their own with R. Smothers and Salden knocking in two runs.  Robbie Smothers had this to say after the game, "I felt like we were mosquitos out there tonight and YA forgot their bug spray."  Waconia is now 10-1 on the season and 8-1 in the Crow River Valley Leauge.  The Lakers play at home on Friday against Green Isle, who is currently on top of the South division standings.
