Good job, Eagles!

Eagles finish 4th in the state!

The Lakeside Eagles completed their season with two tough losses and a 4th place finish at the 1A Final Four, in Wenatchee this past weekend. In game one they lost to a very good Naches Valley team 9 to 1, while in game two, on Saturday, they lost to Nooksack Valley 15 to 1. Maybe we should change our name to Lakeside Valley and see what happens (just kidding)....The Eagles finish the season with 23 wins (a school record) and only 3 losses. A phenomenal season at any level!

We would like to thank everyone for their support throughout the season and wish each and every one of these young men, especially the 7 seniors, the best of luck in the future.

Lakeside advances to the Final Four!

Lakeside boys advanced to the Final Four of the 1A boys baseball tournament with two hard fought games in Moses Lake on Saturday. In game one, the Eagles battled a formidable foe from Kiona-Benton, the #1 seed from District #5, before coming out on top 10 to 7 in 8 innings. KB had an answer for everything Lakeside could muster, including scoring 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning, to tie the score at 7, after Lakeside had errupted for 4 runs in the top of the 7th. The game highlighted two very talented teams who competed hard to the end. Offensively, the Eagles were led by Anthony Froemke with two triples, Kyle Stillar with 3 hits (3 rbi's), Johnny Gilrein with the game winning single in the 8th, as well as a sac fly and suicide squeeze to give him 3 rbi's, Jake Graham two hits, and Rylin Dukes with another triple. Kyle Stillar pitched a scoreless 8th for the win. The defense was highlighted by a phenomenal play by Jake Graham, in the bottom of the 6th inning, as he snagged a ball in the dirt, on a suicide squeeze attempt by KB, throwing the runner out at 3rd and preventing KB from taking the lead. High School baseball at its best!

In game two, Lakeside faced NEA foe, Chewelah, who had earlier defeated Cle Elum, to advance to the final eight. Lakeside would not be denied as they methodically dispatched of Chewelah, 6 to 2, behind the pitching of Rylin Dukes and timely hitting throughout the lineup, with Froemke and Dukes registering 2 hits apiece and everyone else contributing. The game highlighted multiple outstanding defensive plays from both teams. Congrats to Chewelah for a fine season.

Lakeside advances to play Naches Valley, on Friday, with the winner playing for the 1A state championship on Saturday, in Wenatchee.

We are proud of you Lakeside Baseball!

Lakeside bounces back!

Lakeside bounced back from their only loss of the season to defeat Omak, the #3 seed from the CTL, in a loser out game, 2 to 0. With the win, Lakeside advances to the state tournament as the District 6/7 #3 seed and will face Kiona-Benton, the District 5 #1 seed.

In a closely contested game, Anthony Froemke pitched what could of been his best game of the year, as he yielded 3 hits, striking out 6 and walking only 1. Hits were hard to come by for both teams, as the Omak pitcher matched Froemke in pitching a great game. Lakeside scored their first run on a misplayed fly ball to left field that left Travis Corigliano on second base. Scott Richards than sacrificed him to third, with a nice bunt. Corigliano scored when Jake Graham hit a sacrifice fly to center, driving in the games first run. There it stayed until the bottom of the 6th when Kyle Stillar led off with a base on balls, stole 2nd, stole 3rd and scored on a perfectly executed suicide squeeze by Richards.

You gotta love it! Well done Eagles!

First round win

What a gorgeous day for baseball at the Spokane Fairgrounds! Bright blue skies, a light, steady breeze and a warm but comfortable temperature at immaculate Avista Stadium welcomed Lakeside fans as they watched their undefeated Eagles beat a rugged Cascade team 11 to 5 with solid pitching and powerful hitting in the first round of the NEA/CTL bi-district baseball regional tournament Tuesday afternoon.

Highlights included starting pitcher Anthony Froemke's 3 triples in his first 3 trips to the plate, triples by Gilrein and Stillar, and towering doubles by Corigliano, Richards and Graham. Froemke earned the win to move his mark to 7-0 on the season. Lakeside also had a perfect fielding effort as Cascade struggled with 5 errors, many behind the plate, which handed the Eagles several unearned runs throughout the course of the 6 1/2 inning game.

The second round game for the winner of this NEA 1 vs. CTL 4 game was treacherously scheduled to follow immediately at its conclusion, and Lakeside, even though the number 1 seed and host team, was forced to play its first two bi-district games back to back. Chewelah, the number 3 seed from the NEA, beat CTL's #2 seed Okanogan earlier in the day. Having been spotted a first round 11:00 am start time, various Cougars could be seen lounging about the stadium enjoying the unusual scouting opportunity all during the Lakeside/Cascade contest, which didn't get started until well after 2.

Despite the scheduling disadvantage, the Eagles battled on through the fatigue and led the well-rested Chewelah team 3-1 through five full innings. In the sixth, the Cougars, who Lakeside had beaten 3 for 3 and blanked twice by scores of 10-0 and 8-0 during the regular season, were able to tie the score with 2 runs, but the Eagles kept the score knotted at 3-3 through the seventh frame, sending the game into extra innings.

Things looked bleak after the top half of the eighth, as Chewelah threatened the big upset, scoring three runs to go up 6-3. Digging deep, the Eagles matched those runs, and again knotted the score at 6-6 to end the eighth.

Unfortunately, the Cougars were able to squeak out two more runs in the top of the ninth, and the valiant Eagles simply ran out of gas. Despite out-hitting their opponent 12-9, and committing zero fielding errors to Chewelah's 4, the state's number 1 ranked 1A team, previously undefeated, lost the second round bi-district game 6-8 after nine full innings, and was shown the door to the consolation bracket with their first loss of the season, dropping their overall 2007 season record to 20-1.

With the win, Chewelah is already guaranteed at least a number 2 seed from District 6/7 to state, while Lakeside now faces a loser out game tomorrow in Moses Lake at 5:00 pm against the winner of the Omak/Colfax game at 1. Should the Eagles win that game, they would face a battle for the third seed on Saturday, May 19th, loser #4 to state.

GO EAGLES.

Lakeside Boys Baseball goes undefeated!

The Lakeside boys baseball team completed their regular season undefeated with a record of 19 wins and 0 losses, as they defeated Chewelah 8 to 0 behind the pitching of Kyle Stillar, who scattered 4 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1. Offensively, Anthony Froemke, Stillar (2 rbi's), Rylin Dukes (3 rbi's), and Travis Corigliano each collected 2 hits. Phil Harrison contributed an rbi single to finish the scoring. The defense, once again, was subperb as they made numerous nice plays and no errors. The boys finished off the evening with a "victory shower" for Coach Sullivan! Nice shot Jake and Phil!

The Eagles advance as the #1 seed to the Regional Tournament, where their first opponent will be Cascade of the CTL League. The game will be played at AVISTA Stadium, Tuesday, May 8th, at 1:30 p.m.

Lakeside clinches NEA title

Lakeside boys clinched the NEA baseball title, as they defeated Colfax 6 to 1, behind the pitching of Kyle Stillar and some timely hitting by Travis Corigliano and Rylin Dukes. Colfax came to play, as both teams had trouble scoring until the bottom of the 4th inning when Stillar hit a 2 out double and scored on a sharp single up the middle by Corigliano. It appeared that Colfax might score in the top half of the 4th, but the Lakeside defense killed the rally with a Stillar to Herzer to Corigliano double play. Lakeside put the game away in the bottom of the 5th, as Colfax made a costly error, which allowed 2 runs to score. Dukes followed with his 6th HR of the season to put Lakeside up 5 to 0. Scott Richards was robbed of HR, also in the fifth, on a nice play by the Colfax leftfielder, who reached over the fence to snag Richards shot. Lakeside added a run in the 6th and Colfax scored an unearned run in the 7th to close out the scoring

Lakeside plays their last home game(s) on Saturday, April 28th, beginning at 11:00 a.m.
