Lake City's March Madness

The Rinkrats trailing the Shamrocks by one point took on 5th place Bacardi Rangers. The 'rats fell short, 7 to 6 by the Rangers. With 3rd spot already won by the Shamrocks their game against the 2nd place Dartmouth Alpines had less meaning and lost 11 to 6 to close out the season.
