Timing was everything for the Detroit Lakes softball team Thursday. Unfortunately, their clock wasn't as well-tuned as Moorhead's. The bottom-seeded Spuds controlled virtually every aspect of the second-round elimination game Thursday at Snappy Park, as Moorhead hit, pitched and played defense well to pull out an 11-2 victory to end the Lakers' season. Even DL's strength -- senior pitcher Steph Wilson -- wasn't at peak performance. Wilson, who averaged nine strikeouts per game this season, recorded just two against Moorhead.

Put another checkmark down on the Detroit Lakes girls' golf team's goal list. The Lakers clinched their fourth straight Mid-State Conference title in dominating style by tying their school record mark of 320 Friday -- a score the team just set over a week ago at the same golf course of The Vintage in Staples. The next best score belonged to Staples-Motley, which shot a 348. "It wasn't a fluke we set the record with a 320 because we tied it again," said DL head coach Jim Buchholz.
