10-0
victory over
Tigerton. It was the second straight title for the Lakeman as they

year ago at Tigerton.
The
winners grabbed a 3-0 first inning lead thanks in part to some shaky
defense by
the
Tigers. After leadoff man Jeff Riddle was hit by a pitch, Jason Wanty
reached on an
error.
Luke Behn then singled to load the bases. A walk to Braden Kaminske
plated the
first
run. Then with two outs, Andy Wanty singled home a pair of runs to
make it 3-0
Waupaca.
The
winners added three more in the fourth when catcher Casey McDaniel
blasted a
solo
homer to left and later in the frame two runs scored on a throwing
error by Tigerton
shortstop
Dylan Berg.
A pair of
singles and a hit batsman loaded the bases in the fifth for the
Lakemen and
Jeff
Riddle followed with an RBI single as the winners increased their
margin to 7-0.
Waupaca
added two more runs in the sixth when Luke Behm and Rocky Mondello
singled
and later scored on Wanty’s two out base hit.

by a pitch
and
scored after a walk and two more hit batsmen.
