Bear Lake’s Double Victory
The Bear Lake baseball squad completed a decisive two‑game sweep of Buckley, posting 8‑2 and 12‑3 victories that lifted the Lakers to a 12‑10 record.
Grady Harless contributed two hits at the plate and then turned in a strong arm on the mound, delivering 3 ⅓ innings without allowing a run.
Cameron Lambert was equally dominant in the nightcap, tossing 4 ⅓ perfect innings and fanning nine batters to seal the win.
Veteran presence was provided by Myles Harless and Jacob Farfsing, among other seniors, as the team looks to maintain momentum.
Looking ahead, the Lakers will host Brethren at 4 p.m. on May 21 before traveling to face Mason County Eastern at the same hour on May 26, games that could influence playoff positioning.
Manistee’s Rough Week
The Manistee baseball team dropped both contests to Fremont, falling 7‑4 and 8‑2 and slipping to an 11‑17 record.
The regular‑season finale for the Mariners is set for May 22 when they welcome Hart at 4 p.m., a chance to end the year on a positive note.
Meanwhile, the Manistee softball squad endured a pair of lopsided defeats, 22‑0 and 20‑0, against Fremont, leaving the team with a 1‑22 record as the schedule winds down.
District play will see the Mariners travel to LeRoy Pine River for a noon showdown on May 30, where they will meet the host team in the District 69 semifinal.
