LAKE MILLS — All it took was one inning for Lake Mills to create separation against North Union.

Charlie Dugger started the inning with a walk and Zach Throne followed with a one-out single. Luke Groe walked to load the bases.

Pitcher Grant Fjelstad followed up Prescott’s run-scoring hit with another two-run single up the middle.

With the bases reloaded after back-to-back walks, Dugger emptied them with a three-run double.

Irons added an RBI groundout in the second inning and Lake Mills scored two runs on an error in the third inning.

The win pushes the Bulldogs past the .500 mark at 11-10 on the season.

Lake Mills will be on the road against North Iowa on Wednesday.
