Baseball: Larson outduels Tang as Lakers top Tigers 
It was a matchup of contrasting pitching styles Monday afternoon in Farmington.
Both senior starting pitchers — Farmington’s Justin Tang and Prior Lake’s T.J. Larson — entered among the Missota Conference’s leaders in wins and ERA. Tang had used his control and ability to change speeds to compile a 3-0 record, a save and a 1.82 ERA so far this season, but it was Larson, a power pitcher, who used seven strikeouts to hold Farmington to one unearned run over six innings and pick up his sixth win in Prior Lake’s 6-4 victory.
