In a score more reflective of the football gridiron than the baseball diamond, the host Warriors outlasted the Scouts 22-19 on a hot, blustery afternoon that stretched well into the evening. With gusts from the southeast making left field at Deerfield’s home field a power hitter’s dream, both teams combined for 41 hits (Deerfield 24, Lake Forest 17). Each team failed to score in just two innings, with Deerfield (12-22) scoring eight in the second after they …
