Bulldogs end Raiders' postseason

Raider baseball’s season came to an end Saturday at Moses Lake as the Okanogan Bulldogs defeated the Raiders 6-0. LR had to win to stay alive in the postseason.

It was the furthest the Raiders have gone in the postseason since the 2011 state tournament appearance.

The 2016 season was Lake Roosevelt’s the seventh straight winning season.

Looking to next year, there are a lot of question marks for the Raiders. Seven of the eleven who played this season are graduating. Many of those seniors have been big contributors for the squad for the past four seasons.

Another uncertainty is whether LR will have enough players turning out to have a team.

For now, the Raiders will look back on the success they had this season with 16 wins and seven losses, including postseason, and consider how to build on their successes for the future.
