The Waconia Lakers bats came to life scoring 12 runs on 16 hits and had some help with 5 Brewer's errors. The Lakers started scoring runs in the 3rd inning scoring 2, 3 and 4 runs in consecutive innings, giving them a healthy 9-1 lead. Ronnie Olson led the charge racking up 4 hits on the night to go along with 3 rbi's. "Kevin broke my bat because he's so strong, so I used Craig's bat, which had a lot of hits in it tonight". Kevin Bullis also had a superb game getting 3 hits of his own including a double deep to left field. "I didn't have any diving catches, so I had to help the team by getting base hits," Bullis said with a smile. Nick Litfin, Chris Bullis and Ben Smothers added a couple hits of their own, in which Smothers had a game seperating bases clearing double in the 5th inning. Craig LaPlante had an effective start pitching 5 innings giving up only one unearned run and striking out 5. The Lakers have another string of games this weekend starting on Friday against the reigning Class B champs Victoria Vics. The game will be played in Victoria and the Lakers are thankful to have Chris Bullis getting his second start of the season.
