Great Lakes wins LKSSAA baseball title (GALLERY)

The Great Lakes Wolfpack are once again the top high school baseball team in Lambton-Kent.

Great Lakes defeated the LCCVI Lancers 8-3 Friday afternoon to win the Senior Boys Baseball LKSSAA Championship.

Heach coach Brian Coleman said it was a hard fought victory over a tough Lancers team.

"Out of the gates we hit pretty well. They got one in the first inning so then we started hitting right away in the first as well-- we got four or five back-- and then we just played solid defence. Our pitching was great, defensively we were good, we had another good hitting inning in the fifth inning, and that was basically it-- we held on."

The Wolfpack are a perfect 6-0 and have outscored their opponents 59-9 in 2019.

Great Lakes will head to Windsor Tuesday for the SWOSSAA Championship against Holy Names.

Coleman said it'll be a tough test for the Wolfpack.

"We have to hit and pitch because they're going to be good. A lot of the last OFSSA champions have been from the Windsor area so we always know it's tough getting out of there. Hopefully we bring our 'A' game, and if we do I like our chances."

In 2018, the Wolf Pack were crowned OFSAA Champions after beating Sinclair of Whitby 16-9.
