Kaluau New Program Home Run Leader; Softball Sweeps Bethel

By Christopher Coombs

Makea-Al Kaluau vaulted herself to the top of the history book with a two-run home run in the first contest, giving her 48 career blasts and the title of LWC's softball's all-time home run leader.

The No. 17-ranked softball team picked up two wins on Saturday afternoon at Sparks Park to cap off Mid-South Conference regular-season play with a clean sweep of Bethel (Tenn.). Lindsey Wilson used a walk-off three-run home run from Ellie Derrick in the eighth inning to claim game one before putting together the most runs in an inning this season in game two with 13 to complete the sweep.

The Blue Raiders claimed game one 10-7 before taking game two with a 13-0 result.

Phillip Coffey: Resurrected

Resurrected - by Phillip Coffey
I dare a little grey squirrel do what I shall never try to do on a carefree day
Climb up my silver Maple tree in full view - munching on one of its many luscious seeds
Until he transforms himself to a shorter species in the suburban forested gleam
Clinging to a redbud bush, blooms gone - no flavored treat fitting, soon leaving.

Did not our Savior, Christ the Lord, suffer, bleed and die - hanging from a cross
Without much forethought hewn from a quickly chosen bough of a sacred tree?
Sword thrust into his precious side - blood and water freely flowing to all of us
Soon placed in a tomb, there upon the third day, resurrected - seen by the women crying.
