It was a team effort but, Zack Walker was on center stage as he helped the Tompkins County Lakers 18U baseball team to a 13-1 victory over Candor on Wednesday at the Candor Town Field.

With a strong game at the plate and on the rubber, he racked up six RBI on three hits, singled in the third and fourth innings and had a four RBI, grand slam home run in the fifth inning.

The TC Lakers, based in Lansing, is a team made up of volunteer coaches and players, ages 15 to 18, from the Tompkins County community.  They are a non-profit baseball team that is part of the many programs that the Town of Lansing Parks and Recreation department sponsors.  The team plays local games versus other 19 and under teams and will be attending a few showcase tournaments in Pennsylvania.

Some of the players just want to continue the fun they have playing baseball or hone their skills but, many of them are looking at playing ball at the collegiate level and hope to be scouted at these events.
