Putnam at Lakeridge (4:30PM)

Given the heavens don't drop rain from the menacing clouds sourrounding the Portland area in the next few hours, we're going to have a spotlight tonight, folks!

Since Wednesday's attempt to blog the Sunset - Southridge game was rained out; tonight could (fingers crossed) be just the second installment of our spring sports live coverage. Without further ado, may I present to you the match up:

With all the big bats that this Putnam team has in its hitting lineup, it's hard to believe that the Kingsmen don't have a perfect record due to their daunting offensive capabilities. Despite their lack of consistency, Putnam does hold a respectable 8-5 record. Tonight shouldn't be too much of a challenge for them, but if they don't start stringing together some victories they may never find the rhythm they will need to carry this team into the playoffs.

At the moment, Lakeridge appears to be a team searching for their identity while dropping game after game. They have had some close ones, but the Pacers just can't seem to finish games, which have led to their horrific record of 0-11. Tonight will be not only a test against a solid Putnam squad, it will be a chance for Lakeridge to regain some pride and possibly turn around the season and salvage what's left of the Spring.
