With no games being played today there is no Raider Recap today but we do have an answer to today’s Raider Friday Trivia question! The answer is… 2010 that is the first season that Wellesley Little League went back to using metal bats after using wood from 2002-2010.
Some exciting news for former Raider basketball and lacrosse standout Blake Dietrick (11) as she was named to the WNBA Seattle Storm opening night roster for the upcoming season.
