Softball Preview: Washington Bulldogs vs. Wheeler Wildcats
The Washington Bulldogs will venture away from home to square off against the Wheeler Wildcats at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Washington is headed out to face Wheeler after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they we're looking for. Everything went Washington's way against Douglass on Wednesday as Washington made off with a 17-6 win. The victory was some much needed relief for the Bulldogs as it spelled an end to their seven-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Jamya Abdul-Aquil was a standout: she went 1-for-1 with four stolen bases, three RBI, and two runs. Tenaya Williamson was another key contributor, scoring three runs and stealing five bases while getting on base in all three of her plate appearances.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Washington always had someone on base and finished the game having posted an OBP of .828. The last time their OBP was this high was back in September of 2023.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wheeler). They put the hurt on Marietta with a sharp 18-10 win on Thursday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for the Wildcats.
