After sweeping through five games at the state tournament in Selah during the final week of July, Lakeside Baseball Club's Senior Legion team had only one more hurdle to clear before having a shot at a World Series title.

Coach Rob Reese's squad is still running.

Lakeside's 18U team (36-13) scored 46 runs in four wins and stormed past championship teams from Wyoming, Oregon, Hawaii and Idaho to capture the Northwest Regional title and stamp its pass to the American Legion World Series in Shelby, N.C. on August 17.

The eight team tournament will open for Lakeside against the Great Lakes champs at Keeter Stadium and Veteran's Field.
