The Logansport baseball team struck first in Wednesday’s second-round playoff game at Lakeside, but the Warriors took control from there as the Tigers season ended with a 9-1 loss.

The No. 5 seed Lakeside scored four runs in the first two innings to snatch a three-run lead and never looked back.

Logansport’s Nathan Wheless doubled to left field to score Keaton Cason to grab an early lead.
Cason reached base on an error, but it was Logansport’s errors that did the No. 12 seed Tigers in.
Logansport committed seven errors that led to four of nine Lakeside runs being unearned.

An RBI ground out from Matthew Aguilera tied the game in the first inning before an Eli Campbell two-RBI single put Lakeside ahead for good later in the frame.

Lakeside starting pitcher Hunter Sutton surrendered just two hits and an unearned run as he struck out six in six innings for the win.

Logansport counterpart Levi Forrest allowed nine runs (five earned) on seven hits.
Wheless and Cody Register accounted for Logansport’s hits.

Aguilera and Jon Jon Dick each picked up two hits for a Lakeside bunch that advanced runners in all kinds of ways, from errors to passed balls to stolen bases.

Logansport ends its season with a 13-14 record while Lakeside awaits the winner of DeQuincy and Delcambre.
