Highlights 

2009-2010 Season

At the conclusion of Fall practice, the outlook for the CLC Raider Baseball team is optimistic. A good group of returning players with a sprinkling of freshmen talent look to pust the Raiders into competition for a berth in the State Tournament. The 2010 schedule features a trip to Iowa Central and the annual Crossover Tourney in Austin. A good non-conference schedule against the junior varsity squads of St. Johns and St. Cloud State and perennial power Itasca Community College will help to provide experience for the tough conference foes. With pitcher and catchers reporting in January and full squad workouts beginning in February, 2010 is shaping up to be an exciting season.
