5A REGION 1 BASEBALL: At their best right now ... Lake City heads into state on a roll after knocking off Coeur d'Alene for second straight regional title
“Right now, I think we’re playing our best baseball right now,” said Criswell, who coached Lake City to a runner-up finish in last year’s tournament. “Even though we’ve got injury on top of injury, or we’ve got guys not playing or four or five starters out, we’re putting guys in positions and they’re playing well. I think we stack up pretty well with everyone down south. We’ve got some pitchers and if we can play defense, we can match up pretty well. I’m excited.”
