The Lake Show Ran The Table🏆
A 12 Game Winning Streak Earned The Lakers Their 3rd Championship In Team History🍾
We would like to thank all of our players, families, supporters and sponsors for an unforgettable season!
Our player of the day goes to Matt Hall 🧊
In his first start since last year’s opening day, Hall threw four shutout innings while continuing his hot start at the plate. This marks his 44th career win on the hill for the Lake Show.
The Lakers get their first win of the season behind the arm of Mat Sanfilippo
Kyle Wood had a day against his former teammates going 2-3, with a triple and 4 RBIs.
The Lakers next games will be this Sunday at Pal Mac against the 3-1 Plates; first pitch at 10am #LakeShowFamily
I signed to UCLA my junior year of high school and was told I was going to start Day 1.
Opening Day at UCLA?
I was sitting the bench. 😭
I had 2 choices:
1. Complain, pout, and blame the coaches
OR
2. Find the holes on the team and become valuable.
So for 3 weeks, I sat the bench.
I showed up early.
Stayed late.
Cheered for my teammates.
Dragged the field every 3rd inning.
Meanwhile, I studied the team.
The middle infielders were doing well.
Third base wasn’t.
So I told the coaches:
“I can play third.”
Then I noticed something else:
Offensively, we were either hitting home runs or getting out.
I saw the gap.
If I could become a tough out, get on base, and bring energy to the team…
I could create value.
Then we played Miami.
The starting third baseman was hitting .115.
They gave me a shot.
I went 2 for 3 with a walk.
Played solid defense.
Brought energy.
I never sat the bench again.
Eventually, I became team captain…
and we were ranked #1 in the country.
One thing baseball taught me:
Opportunities don’t always go to the most talented player.
Sometimes they go to the player who becomes the most valuable.
Our opening day highlight is Dean Adams.
Another 1 run battle between the Lakers & Sharks with the Sharks taking Game One 2-1. Game Two ended early after the 5th due to a time limit with the Sharks leading 11-7.
Thank you to everyone who came out to support!
Never gave up on his dream, now tonight he gets to live it 💪
