Southeast Conference rivals in Washington and Mount Pleasant met up on the baseball diamond at Mapleleaf Athletic Complex on Monday with both teams splitting a doubleheader. 

Game one saw each team score in five different innings and the home Panthers (6-12, 5-9) had a response every time the Demons would tie or take the lead. The final response was the dagger with an 8-8 tie broke in the bottom of the seventh on a Paytan Hagans walk off single that gave the home Panthers a 9-8 win. Washington did get the bats going with 13 hits led by a 3-for-5 outing from Lucas Kroll. Avery Six brought in three runs on a single and triple. Zeke Slagel threw 4 2/3 innings on the hill with only one of the seven runs being earned surrendering five hits and striking out six. 

The nightcap had both teams tied up at 3-3 in the fifth when the Demon offense exploded for nine consecutive runs in a 12-3 victory. They finished with 11 hits and Kroll stayed hot collecting three more knocks. Kole Williams was 3-for-5 with three RBI. Isaac Vetter tossed another gem on the mound throwing a complete game surrendering just one earned tally on four hits and striking out six. 

Washington is now 5-11 overall and 3-9 in the SEC. They host Fort Madison tomorrow.
