L-T baseball by Tim |reff The Lone Tree Reporter After ironing down their SEISC championship by pum- meling Winfield.Mr. Union and Columbus Junction (16-5, 13-0) the Lone Tree boys lost a tough one to Lisbon to close their sea- son: 17-4: The Lisbon Lions, 30-7 so far this season, are on the south side of the District 8 playoff tourna- ment bracket and will play New London on July 10 at the same time that Lone Tree squares off against Danville (after Lone Tree Reporter publishing dead- lines). Lone Tree plays for a chance to face the winner of a Notre Dame vs West Burlington match, and the Lisbon Lions will see either IMS or Highland if they make it to their semi-final round. A potential Lone Tree vs Lisbon matchup could loom if both teams make it to their final on July !4 to be played at Wash- ington. Lone Tree 13, Columbus 0 The Lone Tree bets clobbered the visiting Wildcats of Colum- bus Junction, putting up 13 runs in just four innings of work. Harry Miller led his team of- fensively getting a pair of home runs and five RBI in the win. Miller and Wapello's Gage Car- penter are tied in the SEISC North with five home runs a piece. Miller has 30 RBI and a .369 batting average for the Lions this season. The Lions also got multiple-hit games from Jordan Quigley and Logan Forbes. Quigley is batting .352 for the Lions and Forbes is second on the team with 21 RBI and a .371 batting average. With the win the L-T boys clinch the #1 spot in the South- east Iowa Super Conference. IMS and Pekin finished tied with sec- ond at 11.5 and Lone Tree's alone atop the conference with a 13-3 record. "This is all for the boys," said Lone Tree head baseball coach Ryan Barnes after the win vs. Columbus Junction. ,'They did this with hard work and contin- ually got better. They've worked hard for it the entire year, so this is a tribute to what they've done all year." The Lone Tree boys squad has just two seniors this season and Coach Barnes said his juniors SEISC Champs Track Places and seniors do a good job of passing on the high expectations the coaches have for the players. "We have high expectation for the boys and that is passed down from our seniors and juniors," said Barnes. "We only have two seniors on the team this year Harry Miller and Michael Rog- ers and they understand what is expected of them and relay that to the younger kids before we even get to them." Barnes said junior leaders Andy Dodson and Jordan Quig- ley have done an excellent Job of leading by example. ualifier and The Lightning Track Club partic. ipated in the two largest and most competitive events of the season prior to the National Junior Olym. pics, with Champions in both ven- ues!
