| Posted Jul 22/13 - Lakers End Season as #2 in North Division |
| The Lakers lost two tough games over the last weekend of the regular season. In a non-conference game vs. St. Louis Park on Friday night the Lakers had a 1-0 lead in the top of the 9th inning when a ball was lost in the lights led to a 4 run 9th inning for St. Louis Park. Ryan Naughton pitched famously going 8 1/3 innings and giving up 2 earned runs, but took the loss. The Lakers only had 4 hits on the night and their runs were scored on Ben Smothers stealing home in the 6th and a rbi triple by Kevin Bullis in the 9th. "I know we lost, but I was pretty pumped to hit a triple and up my average," Kevin Bullis said. In the Lakers season finale vs. the Winsted Wildcats first place in the North Division was on the line. The Lakers threatened in the top of the 1st, but after Ben Smothers was thrown out at home the Lakers hit into the first of three double plays ended the inning. Winsted took the lead in the 2nd after back to back hits, a Laker error scored one followed by a 2 out single put Winsted up 2-0. The Lakers pushed their first run across in the 4th with a rbi double by Kodey Simon to score Chris Bullis who began the inning with a single. The Lakers struck again in the 9th after a lead-off single by Ronnie Olson and a sacrifice bunt by Bullis put Olson at third, Winsted threw a pass ball to allow Olson to get to third. Train Lyons crushed a dribbler down third to allow the game tying run to score. In the 11th, Winsted reached on an error and scored on a base hit to right to end the game. Chris Bullis pitched the first 10 innings for the Lakers giving up one earned run and striking out 9 Wildcats. "We are happy about getting to play more baseball," Bullis said referring to the #1 seed in the north getting a bye for the first round of playoffs. Kodey Simon was the lone offensive star providing 2 hits and an rbi. The Lakers finished the regular season at 17-6 and 15-5 in the CRVL to receive the #2 seed in the CRVL North Division. Their first playoff game is in Waconia vs. the St. Boni Saints on Wednesday at 7:30 pm. |
