In the first game, Eeron Wong had a good performance getting a hit for the T-birds but then the Raiders took the lead with Helena Castanon getting a three-run homerun and Pierce ended up completing the other 6 points from Kendall Lawson and Makayla Stockman.
In the second game, the Raiders dominated the game and took advantage of some mistakes by the Thunderbirds. The best player in the game was Grace Spencer who reached 4 runs by way of 3 home runs.
It is necessary to highlight that the team is back after a three-year hiatus, with a totally new team, coach, staff, and roster with four of them being dual-sport athletes at Highline. Oriana Muliaga, Daisylynn Laulu, and Madison Maafala are part of the volleyball program and Samantha Johnson is on the women’s basketball team.
On Wednesday, Highline traveled to play a conference doubleheader against Everett. The first game was at 2 p.m., and the second at 4 p.m., with results unavailable at press time.
The Lady T-Birds will hit the road again to face Royals with doubleheader this Saturday, April 8, at noon and 2 p.m.
