The Shakamak Laker Boys Baseball team wins the Indiana IHSAA State Championship. The Lakers win by a score of 6-2 against Cowan after their fifth trip in seven seasons to Victory Field in Indianapolis. Some highlights of the game as reported by http://www.IHSAASports.org are as follows:

Top 7 - T.J. Hill strikes out 10 and leads his team to a 6-2 victory over the Cowan Blackhawks in 1A Baseball State Finals! The team celebrates on the field in a HUGE pile inside 3rd base. A great story for a town that has found itself struggling under the recent flooding and now finds itself on the top of the Boys Baseball State Finals. Congratualtions to the Lakers of Shakamak High School!

Bottom 6 - Cowan pitcher Justin O'Connor pitches his way out of a couple of early walks to keep the Shakamak lead at 6-2. O'Connor was nearly pulled early in the inning, but pushed his way through with a strike out and a clipped ball back to the mound. Cowan now 2-5-1, Shakamak 6-3-1. The 1 for Cowan an BIG 1, that kept the 5th going for Shakamak.

Top 6 - Cowan gets two on in an attempt to answer the six put up by Shakamak in the 5th, but a man caught stealing at 2nd and a dribbler in front of the plate end the inning. 6-2 Shakamak through 5 and 1/2.  read more
