The Spring Lake Lakers completed the three game sweep with a hard fought 3-2 extra innings victory at Zeeland West. Gabe Trask led off the 8th inning with a three base error when a Dux infielder threw the ball away at first base and Trask advanced all the way to third base, Oliver Smies doubled home Trask in what proved to be the winning run. Offensively, the Lakers had a tough time getting anything going, leaving four runners in scoring position and having two runners thrown out at the plate. Maddux Kipling continued his outstanding season on the mound in a no decision where he scattered 6 hits, allowed 1 earned run and struck out 8. Oliver Smies got the win in relief throwing 1 and 1/3 innings of scoreless ball, striking out 3. Oliver Smies and Alex Batka each had two hits for Spring Lake.
