Baseball Recap: Lake Washington Kangaroos vs. Hazen Highlanders

Suggested Video

Lake Washington took a ten-run defeat the last time they faced off against Hazen, but this time they managed to keep it close and that made all the difference. The Kangaroos never let the Highlanders get on the board and left with a 2-0 win on Tuesday. For the Kangaroos, this counts as revenge for the 16-6 victory the Highlanders walked away with the last time they faced one another back in April of 2024.

Hazen's batters probably weren't too happy with Shane Johnson, who pitched a no hitter and racked up 12 Ks (he gave up four walks). Johnson has been nothing but reliable on the mound: he hasn't given up a single earned run in five consecutive appearances.
