Kayden M and Will R made some great plays at first and pitcher. For the Hornets, Owen Ireland had 3 RBIs, Charlie Woods had an unassisted double play and Max Mahan put in solid work as a utility infielder.
Rainiers 26, Panthers 25
It was a real pitcher’s duel (or not)! The coaches were hitting the sweet spot, and batters were hitting. Snacks were rated as excellent, too.
Diamondbacks 24, Tillicum Crushers 23
12U:
MAJ Dominators 19, LBC Diamondbacks 2
Tuesday Night Baseball, 8U:
Bills 25, Rainiers 11
And in T-Ball news (6 and under, everyone scores all the time): In one of the key matchups, the last batter of the game, 4-years old, blasted his ball off the tee about 6-8 feet. He promptly ran out to field his own ball, then ran ¾ of the way to first base, and through himself out! A remarkable play indeed!

Great to see kids playing in the sun. Lakewood Baseball Club appreciates all the volunteer coaches, helpers, parents, grandparents and the community for supporting youth baseball. The smiles were the greatest reward.
Love that we have a sports page!!!
CONGRATS LBC! To think it all began with a stick and a rock. From the dawn of time, we bipedal primates have been attempting teamwork, fun and fair play. And what better way? Play ball, Lakewood. Tanks for the Good News.
