SPORT SCORES                                                                                              

The Lightning Varsity Baseball team lost their home conference finale to Bloomington Jefferson 7-4.  However, did clinch at least a share of the Lake Conference title, which is the first in its school’s history.  The Lightning will be hosting a tournament on Saturday at Apple Valley Legion field where they will be playing St. Paul Como Park at 1PM and Minnetonka at 7 PM.

 

The JV Baseball team started out the season with a 7-1 record and then hit a skid of 5 consecutive losses as we searched for a replacement for our injured shortstop and leader, Cory Meyer. Sam Foy answered the call and we are now 10-6 heading into our last 3 games. Sam had another excellent fielding performance on Wednesday as the JV beat Bloomington Jefferson 12-1 in 5 innings. Ryan Zwolensky delivered another outstanding pitching performance, scattering 5 hits and 2 walks as he kept the Jaguars off balance while striking out 2 and giving up just 1 run.  Joel Bertelsen and Cody Groskreutz each doubled plus they collected a total of 3 hits and 2 RBI. Cody really blew a close 3-1 game wide open during the 4th with an excellent sacrifice bunt that moved the runners and his speed allowed him to be safe at first. This ignited an inning that saw the Lightning send 15 batters to the plate and score 9 runs. Andy Gench reached base 4 times and had 2 hits and 2 RBI. Tom Bauer had 2 hits and lead the team with 3 RBI. The team has 3 games to play including 2 nonconference games in a tournament on Saturday and then our final game against Lakeville North on Monday.

 

The 9A Baseball team defeated Bloomington Jefferson 11-2 yesterday.  Ty McDevitt delivered the big hit with a bases loaded triple and Kyle Jonas, Tom Jerle, and Jacob Ulrich all made big contributions to the offensive attack. 

 

The JV Girls Golf team edged out Bloomington Jefferson by one stroke on Tuesday as they played in cloudy, misty weather.  Lindsey Wilharm, Laura Appleton and Mara Bertelsen took 2nd, 4th and 5th places, respectively, in the match.  Also scoring for the team was Jordan Gunhus.  Rounding out the squad for the day were Melanie Nelson and April Sandquist.  The girls play again today in the District 196 Championship.

 

On Monday night, Eastview Boys Lacrosse won their first swction game against Simely 18-2.  Captain, Andy Freeman lead the lightning with 9 goals.  Last night in the second game of sections, Eastview defeated Prior Lake with a score of 10-5.  These two wins advances Eastview to the final game on Friday at Eastview against Eagan.  The game begins at 7:00.  Cheer them on to a victory !

 

The Lightning Varsity Softball team fell to Kennedy yesterday 7-2.  Kennedy scored the bulk of their runs in the 2nd inning thanks to some defensive miscues, and the offense never quite got on track to mount a comeback.  Sophomore Lindsay Spanton and her three hits provided some spark, and Abbey Burkel and Ashley Hunt each hit doubles to the wall, but it was too little too late.  Yesterday was also the final home game for five seniors: Abbey Burkel, Susie Kyllo, Danielle Fraser, Kari Johnston, and Kaity McIntosh.  The Lightning finish the regular season today at Park Cottage Grove.  Playoffs begin Monday at the Lexington/Diffley complex in Eagan.

 

The Lightning JV Softball raised their record to 11 - 7 with a 8 - 3 victory over Kennedy.  The Lightning batted around in the second inning and scored six. Megan Glockner started the inning with a single and Carlie Wagner put one over the center field fence.  Wagner's home run was followed by singles from Macaela Karnick, Kayleigh Montgomery, KT McIntosh, Sophie Williams and a double from Sam Mahoney and the second inning ended with the Lightning leading 6 - 1.  Senior KT McIntosh had two hits, scored two runs and had an assist in the field.
