Cottage Grove Lions Baseball 0-10 Lakeridge

Cottage Grove struggled to generate offense against visiting Lakeridge, falling 10-0 in nonleague baseball action Tuesday afternoon at home. The Lions managed just scattered hits while the Pacers built a commanding lead early and never looked back.

Lakeridge's balanced attack proved too much for Cottage Grove pitching, as the visitors plated runs consistently throughout the contest. The Lions, meanwhile, couldn't string together the timely hitting needed to mount any serious threats against Lakeridge's starter.

The loss drops Cottage Grove to 1-2 on the young season as they continue working through early-season adjustments. While the final score was lopsided, the Lions showed flashes of potential that coaching staff can build upon.

"We're still finding our rhythm as a team," said one observer close to the program. "There's talent here, but it takes time to gel."

Cottage Grove will look to bounce back when they return to action, hoping to even their record and gain momentum heading deeper into the spring campaign. The Lions have plenty of baseball left to turn things around.
