SOU softball – Davalin Ontiveros

@_davvyy @SOURaiders @SOU_Softball

Brianne Craig threw 178 pitches in game one against Corban this weekend, a game with as many “woulda, coulda, shouldas” as innings (10), but the Raiders came up short. Shutout for the first six innings, the Raiders won game two with a walk-off. Ontiveros led the way with two hits, a run, and SOU’s only RBI.

All in all, it was not a bad week for Southern Oregon softball. The Raiders split with the ranked teams and swept the unranked team. If they do as well or better for the rest of the season they will make the playoffs and possibly end up in the final rankings.

There have been many recent softball games in Ashland for the Raiders. There will be many more this week. However, this is it. After this week the Raiders will play all of their remaining games on the road.

Today’s doubleheader (games begin at 2 and 4) will be against Oregon Tech, the conference leaders with a 14-3 record in CCC play.

Ashland High School softball – Grace Lenthe

@grace_lenthe13

More than seven years ago I remember 9 or 10-year old Grace (who I had never before met) walking up to me before our first practice and saying something like, “Hey Al, let’s play catch!” I have been a fan of Miss Lenthe ever since.

Tomorrow the AHS softball team plays at North Mountain Park at 5 p.m. (as does the baseball team). The forecast is for rain.

The crop of the above photo on souraiders.com is pretty crazy. I kind of like it, but in case you want to see the rest of the image I offer the latest installment in “The Whole Picture”.

Austin Dodge on Siskiyou Boulevard

@SOURaiders @SOU_Football @MBeagle47

Once upon a time, 30-40 years ago, my bedroom walls were covered in posters and pennants. In fact, I ran out of space on the walls and had to go to the ceiling. Eventually the ceiling ran out of room (literally), and then I had to move out to go to college. Flash forward to the present day and nothing has changed, except that now I take the photos, and the canvas has moved from my bedroom walls and ceiling to the streets of Ashland.

Thanks be to Mike Beagle for making this happen.
