The Lake Mills Bulldogs baseball team’s season came to a shocking end Saturday for the season straight year.

Leading 4-0 entering the seventh and final inning, the Bulldogs gave up six runs with two outs in the district tournament in Manly, Iowa.

Down to its final out with a runner on first base, the Central Springs Panthers had six consecutive batters reach base on four hits, a walk and hit by pitch, to notch six runs and win 6-4.

“It was a pretty shocking seventh,” Bulldogs coach Jason Blaser said.

The Bulldogs cruised through the first six innings. Starting pitcher Paul Scholbrock face no more than four batters through the fist six frames as the Bulldogs built a 4-0 lead.

In the seventh with two outs, Scholbrock hit a batter to put runners on first and second before the No. 5-ranked Panthers staged its rally.

The tying run scored on a double but the Bulldogs caught two baserunners in a run down between first and second, and second and third. Attempting to tag the runner out at third, Bulldogs catcher Bryan Hengesteg fired a perfect throw to third baseman Drey LyBarger, who wasn’t looking for the throw and let the ball roll into left field. The Panthers took the lead on the fielding error and scored again on a double during the next at-bat.

The Bulldogs then went down in order in the bottom of the seventh.

“We did everything we needed to do to win,” Blaser said. “It just didn’t turn out that way.”
