Raiders win three

The Raiders played two doubleheaders last week, winning three of the four games.

In a doubleheader at home against the Oroville Hornets April 21, the Raiders won both games by large margins. LR blanked the Hornets in the first game, 13-0, then scored 20 runs in route to a 20-6 win in game two.

In Liberty Bell April 24, the Raiders played the first game close, but the Mt. Lions eked out a 3-2 win in the first game

In the second game, LR got a big boost from a Daniel Loch two-run RBI single in the second inning that helped the Raiders to a 3-1 win. Pitcher Tyrell Kiser picked up a win in the second game along with hitting two of three at the plate.

“We need to continue to improve on defense as a team,” said Head Coach Billy Nicholson said, when asked what needed to improve for the late season stretch.

This week, the Raiders faced Pateros last night in a doubleheader at Pateros. Lake Roosevelt will face the Tonasket Tigers May 5 at Greene Field for Senior Night and the last doubleheader of the regular season.
