The St. Paul Falcons opened the game with a burst of energy, scoring two runs in the bottom of the first inning and building early momentum that would carry them through the contest.
Early Momentum
St. Paul added five more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, extending their lead to double digits and forcing Lakeview into a catch‑up mode that never fully materialized.
Lakeview's Late Surge
The Bobcats answered with a run in the top of the third and trimmed the deficit with a rally in the fifth, but the comeback was insufficient against the Falcons' solid lead.
Final Score and Next Opponent
The final scoreboard read 13-5 in favor of St. Paul, and the team will now travel to Middletown to face Woodland on Tuesday at Palmer Field, a matchup that promises another high‑stakes showdown.
Standout Performances
Keaton Kroll led the Falcons' offense, going 3 for 4 with a double, one RBI and four runs scored. Chase Boudreau contributed a 2‑for‑3 effort with a double and two RBIs, while Nate Cravanzola added two runs on a 2‑for‑4 night. On the mound, Chace King delivered four strong innings, allowing only one unearned run before being relieved.
