The Raiders won two and lost two this past week to have a 8-4-1 win-loss-tie record so far this baseball season. Maybe the Raiders were only lulling the Pioneers into a false sense of security by remaining scoreless in the first four-and-a-half innings, setting Omak up 5-0 halfway through the fourth on a frosty Thursday afternoon. If they were, it worked. Lake Roosevelt decided to play offense in fifth to the point of tying the game at five each, overtaking Omak in the sixth inning when Raider...
