schedule, they were able to win three of four games. The Ravens
canceled Saturday's schedule games with Pratt and hosted Johnson County
in conference make-up games. The games were played at Independence
due to wet conditions at Walter Johnson Park. The Ravens won the
first game 8-7, but dropped the second 17-0. The Ravens then
traveled to Parsons for a double-header with Labette. The Ravens
got the bats out and took advantage of the wind blowing out, winning
18-16 and 12-8. The Ravens will host Independence on Tuesday with
the first game of two starting at 4 p.m. The Ravens will then host
Labette on Thursday at 2 p.m. The weekend schedule is still up in

City before the April 29 deadline for the completion of conference
games. The schedule continues to be tweaked, but the latest known
itinerary is online. [Updated 2008

The Ravens might be awakening. The Ravens pulled off a pair of
doubleheader sweeps this past weekend and are now within shouting
distance of .500 in conference play. The Ravens won a pair at

two from Neosho County, 10-0 and 9-4. The Ravens are now 9-13 in
conference play and have moved into seventh in the KJCCC East. The
Ravens have battled a slow start after spending the majority of the
season recovering from flood damage that affected practice facilities at
Walter Johnson Park in addition to the ballpark on the east side of
Coffeyville. The Ravens will attempt to stretch their four game
winning streak on Tuesday when they face Labette at 2 p.m. in Parsons
for a doubleheader. The Ravens welcome Cowley to Walter Johnson
Park on Thursday for a twinbill starting at 1 p.m.
