A Perfect Run Continues
The Fond du Lac 16U Lakers baseball team rolled into the state tournament with a flawless 20‑0 record, capping a dominant season that has seen them outscore opponents by wide margins. Their latest victory came Sunday afternoon, when they posted an 18‑10 win over Appleton, a game that showcased both offensive firepower and defensive resilience.
Next up, the Lakers will travel to Beloit on Friday to meet Sparta in a double‑elimination showdown scheduled for 12:30 p.m. The matchup promises a clash of two of the state’s most consistent youth programs, and the Lakers are eager to extend their unbeaten streak on the biggest stage.
19U Team Eyes Regional Success
While the 16U squad prepares for the state tournament, the organization’s 19U team is also in action, slated to compete in regional games on Tuesday and Wednesday. A strong performance there could earn them a berth in the state tournament as well, underscoring the depth of talent within the Fond du Lac program.
