Updated: Lady Raiders softball humble Waterville, get ready for playoffs

The Lake Roosevelt Lady Raiders girls' softball team defeated the Waterville Lady Shockers last week to finish their regular season, then lost to the Liberty Bell Lady Mountain Lions 13-2 on May 9 in the first round of districts.

The Lady Raiders overwhelmed the Waterville Shockers last week to finish their season at 15-2 in the league, 15-4 overall.

The May 2 win saw a final score for LR of 13-0.

“We had great pitching by Tristen Adolph and Kourtney Harrington as well as excellent fielding by Gloria Michel at third,” Head Coach Alissa Mansker said. “Addison Hansen hit great, getting on base and scoring each time as well.”

The Lady Raiders’ win-loss record places them at second in the league, behind only Brewster (18-0, 18-2). From here the ladies move on to the postseason, beginning with districts.

LR played Liberty Bell (14-3, 14-4) Tuesday in Grand Coulee in the first round of districts, losing 13-2.

The Lady Raiders play again on Saturday, May 13, for the second round of districts, at home in Grand Coulee against the Tonasket Lady Tigers beginning at 11 a.m. The game will determine seeding for regionals. Win or lose, the Lady Raiders will then play on Saturday, May 20, with the time and place to be determined by the May 13 results.
