Friday night, Lady Raiders hosted Senior Night and UC Night in honor of Sue Reining. Raiders defeated Midland 8-2, and maxed out on their pledges, earning 11 hits as a team. Taylor Keihn was celebrated before and after the game, "signing out" one last time and doing her final lap around the bases on our home field. During game play, Lexi Wood earned the win in the pitcher's circle and dominated offensively, going 3 for 4 at the plate with 2 doubles and a single. Raiders' offense was fierce with Addison Friedrich also going 3 for 4, Grace Meeks going 2 for 3, and Emma Junkin, Mia Warner, and Keihn each earning a hit as well. It was an exceptional way to wrap up the regular season. Thank you to the parents for all of their hard work toward a successful Senior and UC Night!
