The Washington Huskies will venture away from home to challenge the James Logan Colts at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Washington's pitching crew has only allowed 3.5 runs per game this season, so James Logan's hitters will have their work cut out for them.
Washington fought the good fight in their extra-innings matchup against Moreau Catholic on Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Mariners by a score of 3-2. The Huskies have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Hugo Marks spent all 8.2 innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered just two earned runs on five hits.
At the plate, Washington saw three different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Joseph Dutra, who went 1-for-3 with one triple, one run, and one RBI. That triple marked the first that Dutra hit this season.
Meanwhile, there's no place like home for James Logan, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Wednesday. They never let Newark Memorial get on the board and left with a 4-0 victory on Saturday.
The result came thanks to Wesley Vega's shutout, as he gave up just five hits. He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because James Logan is 5-2 when he allows at most one earned run, but 3-5 otherwise.
On the hitting side, Jordan Medina was incredible, scoring a run and stealing four bases while going 1-for-2. Those four stolen bases gave him a new career-high.
James Logan is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games. As for Washington, their loss dropped their record down to 7-6.
Washington couldn't quite finish off James Logan when the teams last played back in April of 2024 and fell 5-3. Can the Huskies avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
