NEW HAMPTON BASEBALL TAKES LAKES REGION CHAMPIONSHIP!
Gregory Ladd
On Friday, the baseball Huskies traveled to a packed KUA field for the Lakes Region Championship. Emotions were high and both teams competed at a high level, but the HUSKIES were able to capture the title with a huge 9-7 W.
The Huskies got down early, going down 3-0 in the bottom of the second. However, the team responded with a huge 9 run inning in the top of the 3rd. This would be all the runs the Huskies needed to hold on for a 9-7 win.
Roy Grigsby started the game for the Huskies and threw 4 strong innings. The ball then went to Captain Alex Rives who sealed the deal with two runners on in the bottom of the 7th with a dramatic game ending strikeout!
It was a great season with the team, finished by a great championship performance!
