The Bothell Cougars will venture away from home to challenge the Hazen Highlanders at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Bothell will be looking to extend their current five-game winning streak.
On Monday, Bothell got the win against Liberty by a conclusive 14-5. Considering the Cougars have won four games by more than six runs this season, Monday's blowout was nothing new.
Wyatt Mickelberry was incredible, going 3-for-5 with one home run, five RBI, and one triple. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Gavin McClaren, who scored three runs while getting on base in three of his four plate appearances.
Meanwhile, Hazen came up short against Mercer Island on Friday and fell 5-2. The contest marked the Highlanders' lowest-scoring match so far this season.
Hazen saw four different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Rydan Corwin, who scored a run and stole three bases while going 1-for-3. Corwin is becoming a predictor of Hazen's success: when he posts at least two stolen bases the team is 3-1 (and 0-3 when he doesn't). Another was Michael Curry, who went 2-for-3 with one stolen base.
Hazen has traveled a rocky road recently, having lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-4 record this season. Bothell's win bumped their record up to 6-3.
