This Day In History

May 20, 2005: LCC’s Kari Gesner needs just 64 pitches to toss a 5-inning perfect game against Everett in the second round of the NWAACC Softball Championships.

May 19, 2021: With the return from COVID-19 condensing the NWAC schedule from a school year down to five months, winter and spring seasons are run simultaneously, leading to a very busy day for LCC’s Karsyn Zaragoza and Kaylee Barnum, who are on both the volleyball and softball teams. The two started their day at Tam O’Shanter Park, helping lead the Red Devils to a 9-4 win over Highline in the first game of a doubleheader. In the third inning of the second game -- LCC would go on to win 12-0 -- Zaragoza and Barnum packed up their gear, switched uniforms, drove across the river to get to Myklebust Gymnasium, and took the court for the volleyball team’s sweep of Tacoma.
Zaragoza finishes her day with two hits, an RBI, a run scored, 11 digs, and 16 assists. For her part, Barnum logs a hit and a pair of walks, drives in a run, scores two more, and adds two kills and four digs.
