Spirit Lake baseball came into the 2025 season with a goal of winning their first Lakes Conference title since 2020, achieving this feat with a 9-0 five-inning win at Cherokee on Monday just before a storm washed over the field. 
“This was a goal everyone had from the beginning,” coach Ross Ackerman said. “The best part is I felt everyone played a part in winning this conference championship. I’m really proud of the guys, especially our seniors leading the charge this season.”
