Softball Preview: Raymond Seagulls vs. Adna Pirates

The Raymond Seagulls will head out on the road to take on the Adna Pirates at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty run totals in their previous games.

While Seagulls fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Thursday's season opener. They put the hurt on Hoquiam with a sharp 15-7 win last Thursday.

Meanwhile, Adna entered their tilt with Toledo with five consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with six. They were the clear victor by a 12-2 margin over the Indians on Thursday. The result was nothing new for Adna, who have now won five contests by seven runs or more so far this season.

Ava Simms made a splash no matter where she played. She looked comfortable on the mound, not allowing a single earned run while striking out seven over seven innings pitched. Simms was also big at the plate, going 2-for-4 with two RBI.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Danika Hallom, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 4-for-4. Lena McCloskey was another key contributor, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base, and two RBI.

Raymond suffered a grim 9-1 defeat to Adna when the teams last played back in May of 2023. Can Raymond avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
