The Lake Washington baseball team kept rolling Thursday night, but the Rebels made them earn it, in an extra inning 8-7 victory.

The Rebels took a 5-0 lead early in the game, scoring three during the third inning and two in the fifth.

A seven-run sixth inning, which got most the Kang offense involved including back-to-back triples by Alac Wong and Theo Alexander, gave Lake Washington the lead and momentum.

But the outburst of offense didn’t crush the Rebels’ hope for an upset victory over the top team in the league.Juanita batter Avery Britton sent the ball to the fence with the bases loaded to tie the game during the bottom of the seventh.

On the play, the Rebels attempted to take the victory by sending the runner from first home. But instead of the win, the Kangs’ relay to the plate ended the inning with a third out.

A clutch eighth-inning hit by Wong scored the go-ahead run for the Kangs.

Juanita made a run at winning the game during the bottom of the eighth but a double play turned by Jordan LaFave and Chase Keierleber ended the dramatic contest.

With the win, the Kangs improved their league-leading record to 10-1.
