Lake Placid deposited eight runs on the board in the first inning and cruised to a 10-0 four-inning, mercy-rule victory over Malone during the second round of the Dixie Youth Majors "O" Zone (ages 11-12) state tournament in East Lakeland. "It was so good to see the boys hit the ball better than they did yesterday," LP coach Ed Stanley said. "We finally had a breakout game that gave us some much-needed confidence." With the win, Lake Placid advanced to play the West Volusia National team on Monday night in an elimination game. ...more
