In Pateros on April 9, the LR Ladies emerged the victor, 16-6. “Gloria [Michel] pitched well,” Head Coach Alissa Mansker said. “The strike zone given to her was not forgiving; she threw strikes all night that were being called as outside the zone, and there isn’t much you can do there except hope the opposing team swings. “Finally the other team caught on and began getting some contact, allowing for our defense to make plays. Our outfield playe...
