Nannies softball starts season with eight road games

PATEROS – Varsity softball head coach John Slater was still working to get his team a road game on a dry field as of this week with the first game of the season against Manson on Thursday, March 21, an iffy proposition.

Teams throughout the Quad City area are examining their schedules to see what games can be played and where.

The Nannies varsity softball team has road games scheduled through April 9, before Pateros hosts its first home stand against Manson.

According to the roster posted on CWB Athletics (www.cwbathletics.com), Pateros goes from Manson to a doubleheader at Liberty Bell on Saturday, March 23. Field conditions at Liberty Bell received some early help from a local contractor who tried to keep the field clear despite recent snowfall.

The Nannies are scheduled to play a doubleheader at Sunnyside Christian on Tuesday, March 26, followed by another DH at Oroville on Saturday, March 30. The final early road game is scheduled at Lake Roosevelt on April 9.

As the schedule currently stands, Pateros will host a string of four home games from April 11-16 against the Trojans, Bridgeport (DH) and the Raiders. A final home game is scheduled for April 25 against Soap Lake.

The list of Central Washington B-2B League rivals this season includes Brewster, Bridgeport, Lake Roosevelt, Liberty Bell, Manson, Oroville, Soap Lake, Tonasket, and Waterville-Mansfield. Citizens are advised to check the school calendar at www.pateros.org where games will be listed among other school activities.
