 In the top of the third, the Warriors got on the board as a two out Kyle Carlberg proved costly to the Lakers. Riley Schaeffer followed with a fly ball down the right field line. Drew Conrad made a diving attempt to catch the ball with the ball deflecting of him into foul territory allowing Carlberg to score. 

Veseli tacked another run on in the fourth. Sam Friedges singled and advanced to third on a throwing error. Nick Geis followed with a single to score Friedges. 

In the fifth, it was another earned run for Veseli. Carlberg reached on a fielding error and scored two batters later on a Same Friedges single. But the Lakers found some two out magic in their half of the inning. With two outs, Mason Conrad singled and scored two batters later on an Aiden Tobin single to make it a 3-1 game. 

Veseli scored twice in the seventh. Carlberg singled and scored on a Nick Geis walk. Sam Friedges singled and scored with two outs on a Lakers fielding error. 

The Lakers got one back in the ninth as Jack Jandro singled and scored on a Drew Conrad single. The Lakers had the tying run at the plate but Joe Grote lined out to center field to end the game. 


Jamie's Deliverymen of the Game

1. Sam Friedges- Veseli. The fifth hitter in the Warriors order singled four times (4-5), drove a run in and scored twice.

2. Luke Tupy- Veseli. The St. Cloud State alum battled control issues walking six Lakers in 5.2 innings of work, but did not allow a run.

3. Mason Miller- Faribault. The lefty threw well for the Lakers but was victim of unearned runs allowing four runs, but only two were earned. He saved the Lakers pitching staff as he went 6.1 innings.

The week ahead:

The Lakers go to New Prague on Wednesday night to face their Townball team at 7:30 followed by an 8 pm first pitch in Montgomery at 8 pm. Next Sunday will see the Lakers on the road again with a rematch in Veseli, that will be a 2 pm start. 

I'll be in St. Paul on Wednesday to help celebrate 10 years of CHS Field and will be on the road in Sioux Falls on Sunday on the American Association beat, so check social accounts for game results from New Prague and Veseli.
