The Washington Demons will look to make some headway in conference play when they host Keokuk for a baseball doubleheader tonight that you can hear on KCII. Washington was reeling from a five-game losing streak at the end of last week, with the last four losses by a combined five runs. But the Demons rallied for a 9-8 walk-off win against Fairfield Thursday to improve to 4-5 in the Southeast Conference and 4-12 overall.

Seniors Isaac Vetter and Ethan Patterson have been the Demons’ biggest offensive weapons at the top of the order. Vetter has a team-high .313 batting average, while Patterson is hitting .293 with five doubles and six runs batted in. Junior Caleb Zieglowsky has also been a threat with the bat, putting up seven of his team-high 11 RBI in conference games.

After splitting four matchups with Keokuk last season, Washington gets their first look in 2023 at a Chiefs team that is 2-7 in conference action and 5-12 overall. Demon softball also has a home doubleheader with the Chiefs this evening. You can hear all the action on the baseball diamond between Washington and Keokuk tonight on 106.1 FM KCII. Coverage from Dick Sojka Memorial Field in Washington begins with the Dino’s Pizza & Steakhouse Pregame Show at 5 o’clock.
