Greenwald scored two runs in the fifth inning to take a 2-0 lead. Shawn Schoenberg, a draftee from Spring Hill, and Keith Frieler had RBI singles for Greenwald in the rally, which featured four hits.

Adam Kampsen snared a grounder against NL-S on Saturday. Against Greenwald on Sunday, he led the Lakers with three hits.

Lake Henry escaped a jam in the sixth inning, when relief pitcher Doug Fuchs came into the game and retired the final batter of the inning with the bases loaded.

The Lakers did not score until the ninth inning when Josh Kampsen walked, stole second, and scored on an RBI single by Mike Stalboerger. Stalboerger reached second on a passed ball to put the tying run in scoring position for the Lakers, but Brandon Worms relieved Schoen-berg and got the final two outs to preserve the 2-1 win. Worms was the hero in July when Greenwald beat Lake Henry 7-5 on his walkoff three-run homer in the ninth.

The Lakers, with two losses at the Region 15C tourney, ended their season with a record of 20-7.

The other five teams - Greenwald, New London-Spicer, New Munich, Norway Lake-Sunburg, and Richmond - stayed alive over the first weekend of the Region 15C tournament. Norway Lake-Sunburg was the only team to win both their games over the weekend. They will play Richmond at 12 noon on Saturday in a game whose winner will secure a state berth. Richmond, which lost in the first round, would be eliminated if they lose this game.

In the consolation bracket, Greenwald advanced to play New London-Spicer on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in an elimination game. New Munich is also alive in the consolation bracket.

After walking, Jeff Schmitz scored the Lakers' only run against New London-Spicer on Saturday on a wild pitch and throwing error.

Hadley for New London-Spicer; Roscoe pitcher Brent Heinen for Richmond; and Spring Hill pitcher/ catcher Shawn Schoenberg for Greenwald.
