It was an uptick in competition for the Washington softball team the last couple nights and the Demons were tripped up in a pair of contests. 

No. 3 in 4A Clear Creek Amana (22-3) came to town on Tuesday and the Demons kept it close, but couldn’t get the bats going in a 5-0 loss. Bella Salazar pitched for the orange and black surrendering five runs on 14 hits and striking out five. The offense scattered four singles and was only allowed one free pass. Game two of the doubleheader was cancelled due to lightning. 

Last night they traveled to Marion (15-13) with the Wolves grabbing an early 5-1 lead and using that momentum in an 8-1 final. The Demons had five hits with RyLee Fishback going 2-for-3 and Ava Turner brought in a run. Salazar and Halle Cuddeback split time in the circle combining to give up four earned runs on nine hits. Washington is now 10-17 overall and they will try to improve their 7-7 Southeast Conference mark tonight hosting Fort Madison. We will have the baseball doubleheader on FM 106.1 KCII with first pitch at Dick Sojka Memorial Field set for 5:30 p.m. The Demon baseball team is 5-11 and 3-9 in the SEC while the Bloodhounds are 12-6 overall and 9-4 in the league.
