The Maple Lake Lakers got a league win before they took home the trophy bat at the Highway 55 tournament this weekend, extending their win streak to 11.
Cokato 2
Maple Lake 12
The Lakers jumped on Cokato early and often Tuesday night en route to a seven-inning victory. Maple Lake scored a pair in the first to give starter Brian Russell some room to work. Russell took advantage and pitched with confidence, racking up eight strikeouts and allowing only three hits and two walks in six innings. Threatening to score throughout the game, the Lakers scored two in the fourth, three in the fifth, and broke the game open with five in the sixth. Brian Redemske led the offensive attack, collecting four RBIs, a double, and a stolen base, while getting hit by the pitch twice. Dusty Decker finished off the last inning, recording a strikeout, walk, and no hits with an unearned run.
