Midway’s Gibby Allen was the winning pitcher for the Raiders on Tuesday night with Jordan Farthing coming in as relief for one inning as the Raiders defeated the Lakewood Leopards 13-3.
The Lady Raiders warmed up their bats to defeat the Lady Leopards 6-2 in seven innings; the Raider baseball team defeated the Leopards 13-3 in five innings.
Lakewood had difficulty on offense as they seemed not to be able to get the ball to cooperate as they came to the plate. The Raiders shinning moment came on a grand slam home run from Chris Sanders that gave Midway added momentum as the evening went on.
Gibby Allen was the winning pitcher for the Raiders as he hurled the ball for four innings, allowing four hits, three runs, two of which were earned, two walks and struck out six. Jordan Farthing came in as relief for one inning and allowed only one hit and two walks while striking out two.
