Mother Nature has forced a reconfiguring of the schedule for the Washington summer teams and both squads will head their separate ways tonight. 

Last night’s baseball doubleheader with Burlington has been moved to this evening with the Demons set for their Southeast Conference opener. Washington sits at 1-1 and they fell to Solon 6-4 on Friday. Ethan Patterson is 4-for-6 at the plate with three runs knocked in and the junior has pitched 4 2/3 innings of scoreless ball. Burlington is 1-3 and most recently split a doubleheader with North Scott. Owen Fawcett is 3-for-4 with two RBI to lead the offense. The defending SEC Champion Grayhounds swept the Demons in three meetings last year. 

The postponed softball matchup with Burlington last night got moved to Wednesday, June 8th, but tonight the Demons travel to Knoxville. They have been off for a week, sitting at 1-1 after an opening night split against Cardinal. Bella Salazar was 4-for-7 with four RBI and she has pitched five innings along with fellow freshman Halle Cuddeback. The Panthers are 2-0 and last beat Newton 8-4. Ashlyn Finarty has knocked in four runs and hasn’t allowed an earned tally in the circle in five innings of work. Knoxville swept Washington 16-3 and 4-1 in a doubleheader last summer. 

KCII will broadcast Demon baseball tonight and softball tomorrow against Mount Pleasant. The baseball doubleheader starts at 5:30 p.m. at Dick Sojka Memorial Field and listen live on FM 106.1 KCII and kciiradio.com.
