What was supposed to be a Southeast Conference baseball doubleheader last night turned into a shortened game one where Washington and Burlington was forced to suspend action.

The league leading Grayhounds plated a run in the second and third frames to take a 2-0 advantage, but Kole Williams got the Demons on the board with a solo shot to left field in the fourth. Burlington’s Alex Fawcett answered with a towering shot of his own only to have Ethan Patterson get that run back with a RBI single in the fifth. The game came to a pause in the seventh due to lightning and the contest was called after an hour. The game was suspended in the seventh with the score in favor of Burlington 4-2. If a make up date can be found they will pick up where they left off, if not, Burlington will be declared a 3-2 winner in six full frames. Washington had five hits and Ethan Zieglowsky gave them a chance with a complete game on the hill giving up three runs on six hits and allowing four free passes.

The Washington softball team could never find any traction against the Grayhounds and lost their only game by a final tally of 15-0. The Demons fall to 14-14 overall and 8-5 in the league. Burlington opens up a three game advantage on the orange and black with an 11-2 SEC mark.
