ers homered, doubled and

Rogers’ RBI single plated
Fourth
heck of a team. 1 not
only wouldn’t be sur
prised if he made a
big splash during free
agency, 1 would be
shocked if he didn’t.
It won’t hurt that
players know they
have a head coach
they can respect.
Brad Stevens has won
everywhere he’s ever
been, he’s coached
the Celtics to more
wins every year he
has been there and
for what it’s worth,
his play call at the end
of Game Three won
them that game.
The best part for
Boston fans, next
year they should have
All-Stars Kyrie Irving
and Gordon Hayward
healthy and eager.
I’m just saying, if
the Celtics w.ere still
a stock on the market.
I’d tap that.

Lauren Baker (triple) in the
first inning for a 1-0 Warriors
lead.
Baker, Lauren Smith, Isbelle
Phelps and Rogers (singles)
and Katlynn Stotesberry
(double) made it 4-0 in the
third frame.
The four-run fifth inning
featured hits from Baker,
Megan Davenport and Re-
bekah Goodwin, while Rog
ers reached on a fielder’s
choice, Stotesberry and Lau
ren Smith were safe on errors
and Lindsay Smith was hit by
a pitch.
Lauren Smith, Davenport
and Baker had singles in the
bottom of the fifth frame,
while Rogers smacked her
three-run home run to end
the game.
Stotesberry earned the win
on the mound with four in
nings of work. She gave up
three hits and one run with
one strikeout and one walk.
Baker struck out two in a
relief appearance (the fifth
inning).
Lawrence Academy will
likely be one of the top seeds
when the North Carolina In
dependent Schools Class lA
