Raiders tumble, 18-5

? The Lawrence Raiders lost, 18-5, to Rogers County (Okla.) on Friday at the Glen Wiget Tournament.

The Raiders led, 5-3, after two innings but were held scoreless the rest of the game. Rogers County tallied 24 hits and scored seven runs in the top of the seventh to put the game away.

Lawrence coach Wilson Kilmer said his team struggled to keep pace with Rogers County on a hot, windy day with the wind blowing out to left field.

“It was a pretty tough day to pitch,” Kilmer said.

Lawrence’s Matthew Abel went 2-for-4 with two triples, one RBI and two runs scored.

The Raiders (8-14) will face Joplin, Mo., at 5:30 p.m. today.
