Lake baseball coach Greg Wilker reached a career milestone Thursday night as his team downed Port Clinton
19-4 in six innings and improved to 12-2 on the season.
Wilker, in his 30th year at the helm, achieved his 500th win. His career record is 500-309.
"It means I’ve been at it for a long time," said a humbled Wilker. "It rewarding because I
have three players on this year’s team who I coached their fathers.
"To me, as a coach, it is nice to see these kids I coached 25 years ago becoming good parents and
good husbands."
Wilker attributes his success to the Lake community as well as a strong assistant coaching staff and
support from administrators.
"I’ve been very fortunate for a number of reasons," he said. "Number one, the Lake
community. As soon as I got here, I knew how important baseball is to this community.
"I’m also very proud of the outstanding assistant coaches I have had over the years. They taught the
kids how to play the game the right way. I’ve been lucky enough to surround myself with good
people."
