ASHLAND – Three days after sweeping Northwest Christian in a Senior Day doubleheader, the Southern Oregon softball team will head to Eugene Tuesday for a season-ending doubleheader rematch against the Beacons.

The Raiders improved to 18-21 overall and 14-12 in Cascade Collegiate Conference play on Saturday when they defeated Northwest Christian 6-0 and 5-4.

As the eight CCC programs close out the softball season in the coming week, the Raiders will conclude the 2013 season Tuesday.
