Weather pending, the Washington boys and girls of summer get back into Southeast Conference play tonight when they host Burlington for a doubleheader.
The Demon baseball team is 9-7 overall, 6-6 in the SEC, and they will try to rebound from a couple losses to Fort Madison on Monday with 8-4 and 10-3 final scores. Burlington won their fourth straight by downing Fairfield 12-2 and 9-4 to improve to 16-5 overall and 11-1 in conference. The orange and black seek revenge on the Grayhounds after dropping the first meeting on June 7th by 8-5 and 15-1 tallies.
The softball squad has an important twin bill with the conference leading Grayhounds. Burlington is 10-2 in the league and they have a two game lead on Washington and Fairfield with matching 8-4 conference marks. The Grayhounds (11-11) took a pair from Fairfield on Monday while Washington (14-13) split against Fort Madison. These two programs went 1-1 against each other a couple weeks ago where the Demons won 6-5 in 11 innings and lost 11-5 in the nightcap.
Listen to the baseball doubleheader on FM 106.1 KCII with first pitch scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Dick Sojka Memorial Field.
