Notes of the Diamond Preserve First Place Lead
The Tacoma club holds first place despite a rough game with limited batting opportunities. McCloskey and Kane stand out in the field with strong plays, while Letcher’s catch and Perham’s potential at first base highlight improving form. A postponement for a circus, and a double header scheduled Saturday, shape a busy week.
