From the Sideline
“Autumn went 5-for-7 last week at the plate, and as a pitcher she went 12 innings in pitching two complete-game shutouts as the Ravens beat Enumclaw 1-0 and Todd Beamer 10-0. Autumn is a second-year captain and leads by example on the field. She doesn’t care who gets the credit as long as the team is in good spirits and playing well.”
