Lake Mills hosted New Hampton Wednesday, and was able to get the game in despite some unruly weather later on.

The Chickasaws (25-4) came in with one the best records in the state of Iowa, so the Bulldogs were going to have to play a great game to beat them.

But, as they have done all season, the Chickasaws scored plenty of runs and got two explosive offensive innings to propel them to an 11-2 win.

The Chickasaws got on the board first in the second inning by notching two runs.

The Bulldogs tied it in their bottom half of the inning.

The following inning, New Hampton tacked on four runs, then added four more in the fourth inning.

That would be all New Hampton would need.

The Bulldogs were forced to use four pitchers during the game, with Luke Groe and Grant Boehmer each giving up four earned runs apiece.

While Lake Mills scored two runs, it managed just one hit on the night, courtesy of Alex Albert.

New Hampton didn’t fare much better with just five hits, but it had six players drive in at least one run and two players drive in two runs.

The Chickasaws also stole nine bases.

Junior Keegan Tenge went 2-2 with three runs scored, three stolen bases, two RBIs and a walk for the Chickasaws.

Lake Mills will begin district playoffs Saturday.

First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m.
