Legion Post 131 baseball team wins playoff opener
Maple Lake Post 131 legion baseball traveled to Litchfield on Monday, July 15 to open the playoffs. Litchfield hit well early and capitalized on a couple Irish errors to score four runs in the bottom of the first. The Irish got on the scoreboard in the top of the third when Danny Reilley lined a two-run missile over the left field wall cutting the deficit in half at 4-2. Litchfield added a run in the bottom of the fifth. The score remained 5-2 with Maple Lake down to its final at bat. With the season on the line, Reilley opened the inning with a walk, followed by three Irish singles by Wyatt Briemon, Jarrett Faue and Andy Schmitz plating a run and loading the bases for Gabe Jurgens. Jurgens hit a deep fly ball to right center for a two-run double game to tie the game at five. Nick Jost followed with a ground ball misplayed by the Dragon second base that scored Schmitz for a 6-5 lead.
Lakers tied at fifth as regular season nears end
The Maple Lake Lakers are on the home stretch of the North Star League regular season, which officially comes to an end on Sunday, July 21. The Lakers currently sit in a tie for fifth with Litchfield and with only a few games to go a lot could happen in the standings, making the final three games critical. Hutchinson and Buffalo are separated by only one game at the top of the standings and play each other twice before the season is over with Delano hot on their tails for the top spot. The bottom-five teams are likely set unless Howard Lake gets hot and jumps Dassel-Cokato. Once the dust settles on the regular season and the play-in tournament the remaining eight teams will face off in Dassel to determine who goes to state.
