After finally losing for the first time this season, the Reeths-Puffer softball team is rolling again.
The Rockets snagged their third and fourth straight victories on Friday with a doubleheader sweep of Holland West Ottawa in non-conference play.
R-P won the first game 9-5. Lainey McDaniel did a great job on the pitcher’s mound, scattering six hits and striking out 14 batters.

Reeths-Puffer, now 15-1 on the season, will visit Zeeland East on Tuesday for an O-K Green conference doubleheader.
“We had a bit of a slow start at the beginning of Game 1 but picked it up halfway through and kept that energy the rest of the night,” said R-P Coach Sarah Bayle. “The more fun we’re having, the better we’re playing. Now we rest this weekend and get back at it with conference games on Tuesday.”
