LA CONNER – If the La Conner Braves baseball team is playing, it’s usually in a game shortened to five innings due to the 10-run rule. All four of La Conner’s wins this season have been by at least 10 runs while five of their seven losses were by 10 runs or more, including the second game of a doubleheader loss to Concrete Friday afternoon in Northwest 2B baseball.
The first game of the twin-bill was a rare La Conner game that wasn’t shortened by the ten run rule, as Concrete’s Trent Kitchen threw a two-hitter and struck out 15 Braves in leading the Lions to a 7-0 victory.
Game two was a much different story. The 22-2 Concrete win was highlighted by the visitors scoring 10-runs with two outs in the fourth inning. Four Lions scored twice in the game, five had two hits or more, and five had more than two runs batted in during the lopsided win.
Concrete’s Seth Rauch got the win in the nightcap and shined at the plate for the Lions, ripping a double and a grand-slam in the fourth inning and finishing the game with five runs batted in.
With the two wins, Concrete is now 8-2 in conference play and 10-3 overall, while the losses drop La Conner to 3-6 in conference and 4-7 overall.
