A relentless week on the diamond finished up on Saturday for the Washington softball team when they split a pair of games at the Jesup tournament. 

The bats got rolling and never stopped in the opener beating North Fayette Valley 15-3 in four innings. The Demons scored twice in the first, five times in the second, six in the third, and twice in the fourth to cap off the win against the TigerHawks (5-6). The offense had 10 hits with Bella Salazar going 3-for-4 with two RBI and Leighton Salazar finishing 2-for-3 with three runs knocked in. Kendall Hinrichsen had a couple hits and scored twice. Bella Salazar picked up the win in four innings of work giving up three runs on eight hits and striking out five. The team turned around and faced the 12th ranked team in class 5A in Dubuque Hempstead with the Mustangs winning 15-2. Ella Greiner and Leighton Salazar each brought in runs on singles. Halle Cuddeback surrendered eight earned runs on 13 hits in 3 1/3 innings. 

The Demons are now 4-14 overall and will try to improve their 2-6 Southeast Conference mark tonight hosting Keokuk. The Chiefs sit at 4-10 and 2-5 in the league and the Demons won three out of four meetings last summer. The doubleheader begins at 5:30 p.m. in Washington and listen live on FM 106.1 KCII and kciiradio.com.
