Faribault uses the luck of the Irish, defeats Milroy 13-3

 The Lakers got on the board first. Drew Conrad singled and scored from second on a deep fly ball off the bat of Joe Grote that was dropped for a two base error. 

In the second, it was a manufactured run on the bases. Dominic Erickson reached on an error, advanced to second on a walk. Erickson was trapped between second and third, and made the read to go to third as the catcher threw to second. On the back end of a strikeout, the Lakers executed a double steal that scored Erickson. Conrad followed with a grounder that hit first base and bounced away, allowing Zander Fitzsimmons, who reached on a walk, to score to make it a 3-0 game. 

Milroy got on the board in the fifth. With Tyler Maeyaert on second base after a passed ball, Maeyaert was picked off second but made a successful dash to third. Mayeart scored with two outs on a Connor Lanoue grounder that was thrown away. But the Lakers got the run back as Drew Conrad stung a ball to deep left for a double and scored on a Riley Palmer single. 

Milroy struck back in the sixth with two singles and a walk setting the stage for a bases loaded walk to Levi Maeyaert that scored a run. The Lakers avoided any more damage turning a 1-2-3 double play to end the inning. 

In the Lakers half of the seventh, three singles loaded the bases for Fitzsimmons. With the infield in, a grounder could not be handled and was ruled an error allowing a run to score. Aiden Tobin singled to center to score another run. Drew Conrad followed with a grounder that was misplayed to score Erickson from third. Riley Palmer launched what ended up being a single to the warning track, but two runs did score on the play. 

The teams traded runs in the seventh and eighth innings as the Lakers scored on a wild pitch in the seventh and the Irish scored a run as a throw to second base went awry allowing a run to score. But the Lakers scored a pair of runs in their half of the eighth to invoke the mercy rule.

Section 1A Baseball: Faribault Lakers hold on to defeat Dundas Dukes 10-8

Image
 Kevin Luckow (non member of IBWAA) It was the first visit to Bell Field for the Dundas Dukes in the modern era of Townball. The Lakers made it a memorable for the home town fans collecting 11 hits and 10 runs in a victory at Bell Field in Section One play on Wednesday night.  Dundas got on the board in the first as a Tate Journall lead off walk eventual scored on a fielder's choice. The Dukes added on in the second. Mike Ludwig surprised the entire ballpark by bunting, and reaching on a throwing error. Ludwig eventually scored on a fielding error with two outs.  In the Lakers half of the second, I saw something I've never seen in all my years of watching baseball. Due to two Lakers reaching on wild pitches on strike three, Dukes starter Landon Boisen struck out five batters in the inning. This is a feat that has never occurred in the history of Major League Baseball. In the fourth the Dukes added on to the lead as Journall singled with two outs, stole second and scored o...

 The Orioles got on the board first, benefiting from two Lakers miscues. After a Beau Plaisance single to lead off the game, a late throw to second base on a sacrifice bunt and a dropped throw at second base on a force attempt loaded the bases. A Jake Mader infield single scored a run followed by a Hunter LeCuyer bloop single to right field that plated a pair.  In the bottom of the frame the Lakers got the runs back. Three of the first four batters walked before Jack Jandro launched a deep fly to center field that was dropped, allowing a run to score. Austin Rendler followed with an RBI single and Tucker Alstead wore one to tie the game and end the outing for Oriole starter Plaisance.
