Raiders sweep pair of games

The Raiders' Ryan Cantrell scrambles to get back to first base safely during the Raiders' game against Yard Baseball Club, Sunday at Lawrence High.

C.J. Stuever had two hits in the opener, and three Raiders — Kieran Severa, Shane Willoughby and Anthony Miele — each had two hits in the nightcap as the Raiders rolled to a pair of youth baseball victories on Sunday at Lawrence High.

The Raiders routed the Midwest Blacksox, 9-0, in a run-rule-shortened Game One, then held off Yard Baseball Club, 7-4, in Game Two to improve to 13-8-1.

Brandon Bell picked up the win in Game One, which was halted after five innings by the run rule.

Briggs Fish earned the win and Ryan Cantrell the save in the second game.

Lawrence will host Oak Park High at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at LHS.
