One day after pounding the Tacoma Cobras 12-0 to remain in the winners bracket of their super-regional tournament, the Lakeside Recovery Senior Legion baseball club dropped consecutive games to the Spokane Blue Devils and Kennewick Bandits, missing out on a state tournament berth in the process.

In its first game of the evening, Lakeside carried a 2-1 lead into the eighth inning before watching the Blue Devils knot things up with a pair of singles and a critical error in the outfield.

Thomas Townsend then led off the top of the 10th with a base hit and eventually came around to score the go-ahead run and Sean Scholer shut things down in the bottom half of the inning to preserve the win and send the Blue Devils to the Senior Legion State Tournament as the champs of the sub-regional tournament.

Mike Paulson, a 2010 graduate of Issaquah, went nine innings and allowed only a pair of runs (one earned) for Lakeside on the mound and did not factor in the decision. The loss ends the year for Lakeside, which finishes with a 21-23 record.
