WILLIAMSBURG– The Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers ran into trouble on the road Tuesday, June 16, as the Williamsburg Raiders took both ends of a varsity doubleheader in Williamsburg. The Raiders won the opener, 6-3, and held on for a 3-2 win in the nightcap.
An RBI double by Robby Swails brought in Logan Viktora to score for CCA in the top of the first inning in game one, but the 1-0 lead was short-lived as Williamsburg found two unearned runs in the bottom of the second and added two more runs in the third.

This is the first installment of a three-part series on the ways the North Liberty Fire Department– a volunteer unit with only three paid positions– continues to meet the challenges of protecting an ever-growing community.
