It was either a day of poor hitting or good pitching that foiled the Waconia Lakers as they dropped a pair of tough games Saturday in the Miller Lite Classic hosted by Hamburg and Green Isle.
The first game ended with a walk off single as the Blue Earth Pirates scratched out a 1-0 victory. Blue Earth has appeared in the State Tournament the past 8 years and their experience and composure showed in this well played game.
Game 2 came a couple hours later and the Lakers still hadn't come to life as they were handed a 4-2 loss by the New Prague Orioles.
Up next for the Lakers are away games, Tuesday vs the Brownton Bruins and Thursday in Young America. The Brownton game has been rained out the previous 3 times scheduled. |
