Lions split doubleheader with Waterville-Mansfield

MOSES LAKE — The Moses Lake Christian Academy/Covenant Christian School Lions (3-6) split their home doubleheader against Waterville-Mansfield Tuesday, earning an 18-8 victory in the first game and falling 2-17 in the second. Lions Head Coach Todd Gregory said the victory in the first game was the team’s most convincing win this season. “The first game was the best game I’ve seen them play all year. It was great,” said Gregory. “If they play like that, they can play anybody, so you just got to figure out how to do it in two games.” Waterville was the first to score in game one with a homerun that scored three runs in the first inning, but the Lions responded with two runs of their own. In the second inning, Waterville added five runs to the scoreboard and MLCA/CCS trailed just behind with three runs to put the game at 5-8.
