It was a couple rebound victories on Thursday for the Washington softball team when they snapped a four game losing skid to sweep Keokuk for the second time this year.
The middle innings of game one was kind to the Demon offense and they rolled to a 10-4 win. They finished with 10 hits led by a 3-for-4 performance from Leighton Salazar and the eighth grader also brought in three runs. Bella Salazar recorded a home run, collected two hits, and managed four RBI. She also tossed a complete game in the circle giving up three earned runs on five knocks and seven strikeouts. Trailing 1-0 in the fourth inning of the nightcap, Washington scored three times in each of the next three frames to capture a 9-3 win. The team added 11 hits with RyLee Fishback going 3-for-4 and four RBI while crossing the plate twice. Halle Cuddeback twirled all seven frames giving up one earned tally on four hits and striking out five.
The Demons conclude the Southeast Conference slate in fourth with a 9-11 mark and 13-23 overall. They start up the class 3A postseason Wednesday at No. 8 West Burlington.
