The Washington Demons will look to pick up some conference baseball wins tonight when they go on the road for a doubleheader at Fort Madison that you can hear on KCII.

Washington comes in with a record of 4-15, including a 2-10 mark in the Southeast Conference. Senior Conner Leyden leads the lineup with a .364 batting average, while freshman Mitchell Zieglowsky is also hitting over .300 with a team-high 17 total knocks.

Sophomore Boden Brown has also been a force at the plate for the Demons, batting .288 with a team-best 11 runs batted in. Head coach TJ Rausch tells KCII Sports that his team has shown promise in both hitting and pitching, they just have to execute on a consistent basis.

“Our pitchers are throwing well [and] we found some offense up at Waterloo [last week],” Rausch says, “so hopefully we can keep that going this coming week. Our boys know that we can do it. Now [we’re] just trying to put all seven innings of good baseball together.”

Washignton will be facing a Fort Madison team that is 5-18, but all five wins have come in conference play, including a 6-4 victory in extra innings when the Bloodhounds played the Demons earlier this season.
