     There was no luck of the Irish for the Lakers today.  The team dropped their double header to Brunswick Community College by scores of 9-6 and 6-2.  The Lakers managed only six and five hits respectively.  Ryan Queener led the limited offense with three hits, including a double, and three runs scored.
     The team has five more games scheduled in South Carolina before heading home.

     The Lakers scored 16 runs on 12 hits in a victory over Montgomery Community College.  Nine Lakers collected at least one hit, five players managed eight walks and three opportunists stole five bases in the route.
     David Goodgame and Clay Mayor each had four RBI and a home run, while going two for two at the plate.  Andrew Quiles and Mykel Rosario each went two for two in stolen base attempts.  Pitcher Steve Avanitis gave up three earned runs, in four innings for the win.
     In the night cap, the Lakers fell to Lackawanna 11-7.  Carlos Guzman and Chase Westphal each collected two hits, and Rosario had four RBI; but the Lakers could not completely capitalize on the eight hits and seven walks that they collected.  Pitcher Josh Vandemark struck out six, and gave up five earned runs in five innings, to take the loss.
