The Mighty Laker baseball faced a tough opponent in the opening round of the 4th Region Tournament at Nick Denes Field on the campus of WKU. The Lakers faced off with the 14th District Runner-up, the Bowling Green Purples. The Purples got off to a fast start , plating two runs off starter Tyler Robertson in the top of the first inning. As it turned out, those were the only two runs that would cross the plate for the Purples the rest of the game. Tyler Robertson held Bowling Green without a run the final 6 innings with the help of some solid defense from his Laker teammates.

The big blow off the game came from Hunter  Best in the 5th Innings. The sophmore came to the plate with the bases full of Lakers. Hunter lined a triple to the wall clearing the bases for a game high  3 RBI's.

The Lakers now advance to the Semi Final round to face the 15th District Champion, the Allen County Scottsville Patriots.
