The host Lakers, who advanced to face second-seeded Kenton Ridge on Thursday, scored three runs in the bottom of the third inning without hitting the ball out of the infield to do a bulk of their damage.
“Any time Nick Brown is on the mound he is going to give them a good opportunity to win,” said Indian Lake head coach Ryan Lillard of the Raiders’ standout lefty. “We try to be aggressive and we were able to take advantage of a couple of things. He pitched a heck of a game. We just made a couple more plays.”
