Raiders rained out

The Lawrence Raiders had the final two games on their regular-season youth baseball schedule canceled Saturday because of rain. Water accumulated under the pitching-mound tarp at Lawrence High, and that set back the schedule for this weekend’s youth baseball showcase. Because organizers wanted to make sure out-of-town teams were able to play, the Raiders’ games were called off to accommodate the rescheduling.

Coach Brad Romme said he will look into the possibility of finding another game or two for the Raiders to play in the coming days so the season doesn’t end on such an abrupt note.
