Raiders win after rain-delayed start

? The Lawrence Raiders remained undefeated in the Central Plains regional, defeating South Dakota-Rapid City, 3-1, Saturday night.

The game started late because of rain, and the Raiders, likewise, took their time denting the scoreboard. They trailed 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning, when Kyle Cross’ single drove in Lorenzo Ricketts.

The Raiders added two runs in the seventh, when Ricketts and Tyler Knight drove in runs.

The Raiders will face Wisconsin-Oshkosh at 7 tonight and will play again Monday at 1 p.m.
