May 26, 1992 vs. Rice: The Lakers played 11 innings versus Rice before prevailing, 4-3, when Sean Gilbert's walk-off single to left-center field plated catcher Jeff Simays. Simays caught the entire game for pitchers Jeff Pecor (10 IP, 3 R) and winner Nate Brubaker (1 IP, 0 R). Bryant Perry doubled for the Lakers, who led 3-1 after five innings before a sixth-inning Rice rally. The win was the beginning of Colchester's longest winning streak of the season: two games. The Lakers won their next game just two days later over North Country after a long trek to Newport. The wins were their only two wins in their last seven games.
