By DAN HOEHNE [email protected] BABSON PARK – It was seven years in the making, with karma perhaps playing a role as Lake Placid claimed the District 10-4A Tournament Title with Thursday’s crushing, 11-0 defeat of DeSoto. It was, after all, on the Webber International University baseball field, perched along the shores of Crooked Lake, that head coach Dan Coomes Dragons had last won a district cham- pionship, back in 2006. “When they said they were moving the games here, it felt pretty good,” Coomes said afterward. “It was a nice feel- ing knowing that last time we played here, we had won.” The progress of the season matchups between the two squads also gave an indica- tion that this latest contest would be a good one. In the season’s early days, the Bulldogs had handled Lake Placid 7-2, but the Dragons greatly closed the gap in their most recent con- test, falling just short in a 4-3 loss.
