Out & About

Mitch Wurm was impressive

on the mound against the Clip-pers. In seven and one-third in-

nings, he held Watkins to two

runs on four hits and a walk with

seven strikeouts. With one out in

the eighth, Jeremy Schmidt re-

placed the tiring young right-han-

der and held the Clippers to one

base runner, on an error, to finish

the game.

Laker batting was on track as

well. With 11 hits and few free

passes, the Lakers looked like the

team that earned themselves the

North Star League champi-onship. The team had a three-run

second inning when nine men

came to the plate and a three-run

sixth inning with eight batters ap-

pearing.

As is true with many teams,

the Lakers thrive on getting the

lead in a game. In the first inning,

Graham Brown led off with a

looper over the Watkins second

baseman and stole second. Chad

Raiche reached first base on an

error, sending Brown to third. He

then scored on Dusty Deckersinfield ground-out.

In the second inning, with the

score 1-0, Brian Redemske

walked and Luke Fobbe singled

to right field. Brown lined to right

field to drive in Redemske. Tim

Queck reached base on a bunt hit.

As Brown and Queck went into

motion for a double steal attempt,

the Watkins catcher overthrew

third and Brown scored. Raiche

drove in Fobbe with a sacrifice

fly to left field.

In the sixth inning, with the

score 5-2, eight batters came to

the plate and accounted for three

more runs. Decker drove in

Brown for one run, but the big

blow was Wurms two-run base

hit to right field with bases

loaded.

Playing third base, Browns

bat was on fire. The speedster

was 4-4 with four runs scored

and two RBI to lead Laker hit-

ting. He led off the fourth inning

with a rare triple and scored when

Raiche grounded out for an RBI.

Raiche, Dusty Decker and Wurm

each had two RBI. Fobbe had

three hits for the night.

The Lakers scored their first

four runs off starter Matt Geis-

linger and continued the carnage

with five runs off reliever Jeremy

Hindirks, a draftee from Sacred

Heart. Manager Bruce Geis-

linger, the starters father, pitched

the ninth for Watkins.

Tournament Notes: Gary

Porter, new inductee into the

State Amateur Baseball Hall of

Fame, threw out the first pitch

before the Lakers-Watkins game

in honor of Annandales Brian

Hedman, a No. 1 Lakers fan, who

is undergoing a long recovery

from an illness.

Laker tournament chairs are

receiving lots of compliments

about the stadium renovations

and especially about the great

condition of the infield playing

surface.

Mike Adelman, 43-year-old

draftee from Clinton, threw a no-

hitter, the 20th in tournament his-

tory, to defeat Lamberton 2-0 in

a game at Delano.

Howard Lake nipped Clear

Lake 3-2 on Friday night at Irish

Stadium to advance to the next

round, when they will face Green

Isle in Maple Lake at 1:30 p.m.

Saturday. Jordan Danielson, a

draftee from the DC Saints, was

the winning pitcher for the Or-

phans. Laker fans remember

Danielson for helping Maple

Lake win the championship in

2012.

In the Class B tournament, St.

Michael lost to Savage 2-1 and

10-2 to Austin to end their tour-

nament run. Austin hit four homeruns in the game.

Brian Beuning, of Luverne,

and Tony Kley, of Winsted, each

turned in 17-strikeout games.

the tournament, from the state

CJ from the Star Tribune). His

description of the crowd at the

Maple Lake-Watkins game is
