NOTEBOOK: IN COLLEGE, HIGHLAND'S RAWSON TWINS WILL BECOME RIVALS.Byline: Gerry Gittelson Staff Writer Twin sisters Nichole and Natalie Rawson, side by side for four softball seasons at Highland High of Palmdale along with many travel-ball summers, celebrate their last game together at the 15th annual Daily News All-Star Softball Game at 3:30 p.m. Monday at Glendale Sports Complex. They'll go their separate ways next semester. Nichole, a pitcher, is headed to Colgate, where she'll join sister Melissa, a sophomore first baseman. Natalie, a shortstop, is going to Marist, one of Colgate's top rivals. ``It's really sad. Between Highland and travel ball, we've played so much softball together,'' Nichole said Wednesday at the East's practice at Saugus High. ``But it'll be fun at college when we get to play against each other. Usually, Marist and Colgate play each other a few times through the year. This year, they played four times.'' --Just like ol' times: East second baseman second baseman n.
