| Posted May 5/14 - Lakers Win Season Opener |
| The Lakers won their first game of the 2014 season by a score of 7-4 over the Norwood Indians. "It wasn't pretty, but we are happy we got a W," Jeff Chrest said after the game. It wasn't pretty indeed as only 1 of the 4 runs that the Lakers allowed was earned. Evan Buhr started the game going 6 innings and seemed to settle in after a shaky start and poor defense by the Lakers. "I was just trying to throw strikes and it finally started to happen in the 4th inning," Buhr said. Buhr did strikeout 8 Indians and got the win. The Lakers started the game with a sac fly from a hungover Tom "Train Wreck" Lyons, which was followed up by another run off of an Indians error. Norwood came back to tie it in the bottom half, but the Lakers scored again in the second only to be tied again after 2. The Lakers pulled away in the 6th scoring 3 runs with 2 coming from a double from Laker legend Jeremy Salden. Ronnie Olson relieved Buhr the last 3 innings to record the save giving up one unearned run and striking out 2. The Lakers tallied up 10 walks on the day with 6 split between Salden and Olson. Olson also was 2-2 at the plate with an RBI. Kevin Bullis used his bulk to get 2 hits of his own in his first start in right field. "This was the first time my girlfriend was at a game, so I knew I not only had to look good but I had to play good too." Bullis said. The Lakers next game is against CRVL North rival Winsted on Sunday at 4 pm. |
