Lakeview Honkers Baseball 16-15 Brookings-Harbor

In a game that felt more like a home run derby than a traditional baseball contest, Lakeview managed to outlast Brookings-Harbor 16-15 in a thrilling league matchup Friday afternoon at home.

The Honkers found themselves in an offensive shootout that saw 31 total runs cross the plate, with both teams trading explosive innings throughout the contest. Despite the high-scoring affair, Lakeview managed to maintain just enough of an edge to secure the narrow victory.

The win improves Lakeview to 7-5 overall and 4-3 in league play, keeping their postseason hopes alive in what has been a competitive conference race. With offense clearly not being an issue, the Honkers showed they can win games in different ways this season.

While the pitching staff will certainly want to tighten things up moving forward, the ability to generate runs at this pace gives Lakeview confidence heading into the final stretch of the regular season. The Honkers will look to build on this offensive explosion in their next league contest.
