While Dylan Bateman delivered a dominant effort on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Lakeland. Bateman made a splash, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only two hits over four innings pitched. He was dominant the last time he took on Garrett back in May of 2025, so they probably should've seen this coming. Bateman has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up more than two walks in six consecutive appearances.
Coming up, Bateman and Lakeland will challenge Concord at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday. Sadly, Bateman's big day wasn't enough to stop the loss, which snapped the Lakers' four-game streak of wins on the road. With the streak broken, Bateman and the Lakers surely have a bit of extra motivation heading into Saturday's match.
