Raiders sweep Hornets, split with Mt. Lions

Raider baseball rebounded from losses to Okanogan by sweeping the Oroville Hornets last week, then splitting a doubleheader with Liberty Bell.

The lowly Hornets were easily defeated by the Raiders in Oroville April 19. Lake Roosevelt won both games, 19-2 and 25-0.

Liberty Bell came down to Greene Field on Friday for a double-header when both squads exchanged big games.

In the first game, the Mountain Lions had a big offensive day, beating the Raiders 9-2. But in the second game, the Raiders turned it around and held the Liberty Bell to just one run. The final score was LR 11 – LB 1.

Now the Raiders are looking to start a winning streak. The Pateros Billygoats traveled to LR last night for a double-header and Senior Night. On Saturday, the Raiders head to Manson for a doubleheader starting at 11 a.m. The final regular-season games will be on May 3 at Tonasket, starting at 3 p.m.
