Minnewaska Area Lakers fastpitch softball is off to a torrid start to the 2011 season

After their win over Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa on April 25, the Minnewaska Area Lakers fastpitch softball team improved to 7-1 overall on the season. Their lone loss was by a 9-6 score to Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta in a conference game held on April 19.

In the nightcap of a double-header, the Lakers (8-1, 6-1 West Central South Conference) defeated visiting Ottertail Central 10-9, handing the Bulldogs (4-1) their first loss of the season. OTC was ranked in a three-way tie for seventh place in the April 19 Class AA state rankings.

The Lakers' next home game is on Thursday, May 5 against Montevideo at 5 p.m. at the Minnewaska Area high school fastpitch complex.
