Farming's season came to an end on Sunday afternoon, with a 12-5 loss to Lake Henry.  Farming had a 5-1 at one point in the ballgame, but the Lakers chipped away, including a four-run outburst in the seventh inning.

The Flames batted around in the fourth inning.  Brent Mergen reached on an error, and took second on a passed ball.  Derrick Roush was hit by pitch.  Chad Mergen walked.  Ian Hoffarth drilled an RBI single to right, scoring Brent.  Zach Posterick hit into a run-scoring fielder's choice, scoring Derrick.  Craig Klen and Chris Wehseler followed with singles, scoring Chad and Zach.  Unfortunately, the Flames were unable to score after the fourth inning.

Draftee Kyle Lieser (of St. Martin) started for Farming, going the first 4 2/3 inning.  Craig Rausch pitched two innings, and Aaron Nett finished up with 1 1/3 innings.  Craig took the loss for the Flames.

Today was a disappointing end to the season, but it was a great season nevertheless.  Farming finished the regular season with a winning record (7-6), for the first time in quite a few seasons.  The club had a great playoff win at Lake Henry, and made the Region 15C tournament for the second consecutive year.  Congratulations to all the players and fans for a very entertaining season!
