| Posted May 12/14 - Lakers Win Big Against Tough Opponent |
| The Waconia Lakers had an early season test against last years CRVL North champion Winsted Wildcats Sunday afternoon. They had a stellar pitching performance from Josh Lenz and a huge day at the plate from Craig LaPlante. Josh Lenz was almost unhittable on the mound going 7 innings giving up 1 run on 4 hits and striking out an astounding 13 Winsted batters. "I knew there was a lot on the line not only playing Winsted, but trying to earn the player of the game and get a free buffet to Unhinged pizza," Lenz commented after receiving the award. The Lakers got on the board early after back to back walks to start the game a base hit by Chris Bullis put the Lakers up one. They added another in the second after Craig Laplante's lead off double. LaPlante wasn't done as he hit a lead-off home run in the 4th to start a 3 run rally and then capped it off with another lead-off home run in the 5 run 8th that was capped off by a bases clearing double by Kevin "Bulk" Bullis as the Lakers vaulted to a 10-1 lead, in which the Lakers went on to win 10-2. Ryan Naughton finished the last couple innings with 2 strikouts and an unearned run. Craig LaPlante had this to say after his outstanding performance came up short of the player of the game, "I'm happy with the win, but I am not happy with not receiving the player of the game and getting my free buffet to Unhinged pizza. I love Unhinged pizza, nom nom." Even though Craig was displeased, the Lakers were happy with the output of Ben Smothers who had 3 hits and scored 3 runs. Kodey Simon, Jeff Chrest and Chris Bullis each had 2 of the Lakers 14 hits. The Lakers will be playing a make-up game on Wednesday against the Cologne Hollanders at Lions Field in Waconia. |
