Softball Preview: Reynolds Raiders vs. Central Catholic Rams

Reynolds has enjoyed a six-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will face off against the Central Catholic Rams at 7:00 p.m. on Monday.

Reynolds' hitters might be in the hot seat on Monday considering what happened against Sandy on Wednesday. They lost 15-0 to the Pioneers.

Meanwhile, in what's become a running theme this season, Central Catholic gave their fans yet another huge victory on Friday. They blew past Gresham 11-1.

Portland Razo was incredible, scoring two runs and stealing four bases while getting on base in all four of her plate appearances. The team also got some help courtesy of Elle Merlino, who scored a run and stole two bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.

Reynolds dropped their record down to 1-18 with that defeat, which was their 14th straight at home dating back to last season. As for Central Catholic, they are on a roll lately: they've won 15 of their last 16 matches, which provided a nice bump to their 19-3-1 record this season.

Reynolds might still be hurting after the 19-2 loss they got from Central Catholic in their previous meeting back in April. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Central Catholic's DaLiese Lomax, who struck out eight batters over four innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off one hit.
