Posted Jul 25/13 - Lakers Win First of Three Game Series
The Waconia Lakers gave the fans what they wanted; a playoff win. The Lakers took the first of the three game series against the St. Boni Saints on Wednesday night by the score of 4-2. The Lakers had 6 hits and 7 lineouts to score their 4 runs. Ben Smothers led the game off with a strategic strikeout to get to first on the passed ball and later scored on another passed ball. The Lakers got their second run of the game in the 2nd on a Ben Smothers single to score Nick Litfin. The Saints tied the score in the 4th on three hits and a Laker error. The Lakers regained the lead in the 7th inning after a double by Litfin and a walk by Ronnie Olson, Jeremy Salden reached on an error by the Saints and a single from Craig LaPlante. "That hit was for all my struggling peeps in Detroit, holla" Craig LaPlante exclaimed pumping his chest. Luckily the Lakers only needed the four runs as Evan Buhr whisked away the St. Boni hitters. Buhr went all 9 innings only allowing 5 hits and striking out 7. "My arm felt nice, probably because of the painkillers," Buhr said of his lingering arm soreness. The Lakers were 7-7 stealing bases with Ben Smothers being 2-2 along with collecting two hits an rbi and a run scored. The Lakers next game is at their home park on Friday vs. St. Boni. They will look to close out the series with a win.
