\"Rice.Lake.map\"<\/a>A 2-out, 2-run 7th inning home run by Dan Stuhr gave Wilber Lime of Galesville a 7-5 victory over the host Rice Lake Orangemen in the championship game of the 35th Rice Lake Aquafest Men\u2019s Invitational Fastpitch Tournament. The Orangemen had led 5-2 after 5 innings before a 3-run Wilber 6th tied the game at 5 runs each. <\/p>\n

It was the second Aquafest title in a row for Wilber Lime and the 8th overall.<\/p>\n

With 92 year old former manager John Salsman in attendance, the team from Galesville opened play with a 6-2 win over Tin Cup of St. Paul and followed with a 6-1 victory over Ostrander, Minnesota. They followed by shutting out the Orangemen 3-0 in the winners\u2019 bracket final, setting up their championship game win.<\/p>\n

The Orangemen opened tournament play with a 20-1 win over Farmington, a late tournament substitute entry lacking many players from their regular roster. The Orange followed with a 6-3 triumph over the Liberty Mutual Mudhens of St. Paul and a 3-1 victory over PBI of West Saint Paul before bowing to Wilber Lime in the winners\u2019 finale.<\/p>\n

Rice Lake rebounded to defeat Sawdust City of Eau Claire 6-4 to earn another shot, albeit unsuccessful, against the eventual champions. It was the highest finish ever for the local Orangemen, the only team to have competed in all 35 previous tourneys.
\nSawdust City finished in 3rd in the meet whose 10 team field, in addition to the squads previously mentioned, included the Athletics of La Crosse and Dugout Bar and Grill of Cushing.<\/p>\n
