Eskymos Get Small Bit Of Revenge Over Negaunee
 NEGAUNEE---It doesn't erase the sting of losing two championship games to the Negaunee Miners in a pair of tournament championship games earlier this month. But Thursday night's 10-0 win gave the Escanaba Eskymos a little bit of satisfaction against the Miners at Negaunee's Iron Town Field.  The Miners beat the Eskymos in two tournament championship games in Escanaba earlier this month. The Escanaba boys did not forget those losses. "We lost to them twice, so we really wanted to come out here and get a win today," Olsen said, adding that the field conditions were tough. "There's bumps all over the grass. You don't know what you're gonna get. You don't know of it's gonna go right or left, or bounce straight up. There were bad hops all over the place." "There were no hard feelings," Eskymo senior Bailey Lamb added. "But we really wanted to come out and put this team away." 
Devin Olsen post-game comments
 The Eskymos added three runs in the third inning to take a 4-0 lead. Lamb had a sacrafice fly, and the other two runs scored on a wild pitch and on a throwing error. The Eskymos added a run in the fourth inning as Kleiman walked with the bases loaded. In the sixth inning, Devin Olsen had an RBI single to make it 6-0. Then in the top of the seventh inning, Negaunee made four errors and the Eskymos scored runs on delayed steals of home by Lamb and Sean Bissell. Bissell also had an RBI double. Lamb hit the ball hard all day, getting two hits along with that sacrafice fly. "It felt good," Lamb said. "I hurt my back the other day, but it felt really good today."
Bailey Lamb post-game comments
"I felt pretty good today," Olsen said. "My arm finally got back to full (strength)." Negaunee's Tyler Lajoie, who beat the Eskymos twice this season, managed to throw 3 1/3 innings this time. He allowed five runs on five hits.
