GLENWOOD -- Jon Kerzman's double to left-center field in the top of the ninth drove in the eventual winning run as Payneville edged Minnewaska 8-7 in a West Central South Conference baseball game on Tuesday.
With one out, Aaron Savelkoul reached first base on a fielder's choice, stole second and then scored on Kerzman's hit. Savelkoul pitched the ninth inning for the save, striking out the side.
In the seventh, Jake Deadrick hit a three-run homer to left to give the Bulldogs (9-2, 10-3) a 7-5 lead, but the Lakers (5-5, 6-7) answered with two runs on a Paynesville throwing error at home plate.
In the eighth, Minnewaska's Mike Whittemore's long fly ball that could have won the game was caught a foot in front of the fence.
