It's been a long wait for the Grandview Lakers, but the baseball season is just about here for the team.
After a couple of postponed games earlier this season, they officially kick off their Southeast Senior Baseball League season on Sunday at Wilson Park in Grandview.
"Yeah, everyone's really been looking forward to it," said Branden Storey. "Talking about the first couple of games everyone just wants to get on the field and get the season going."
On Sunday, the Lakers welcome the perfect Roblin Stars (3-0) to Wilson Park. Roblin has outscored their opponents 24-8 this season. With that said, Branden is confident the club can get off to a good start to their season.
"I think we're looking pretty good so far," added Storey. "We haven't had everyone out to practice yet, but the guys who have come out have been working really hard. We're ready to give it our all."
Grandview finished last season with a 3-10-1 record. They did play some solid baseball at times, including a win against Canora who finished with an 8-5 record last year.
"I think our biggest part is being consistent throughout the season," said Storey. "Sometimes we have guys go on a hot streak with a few hits in the game, but the next game they will strike out. I think if we can just stay consistent all year we'll be looking good."
