Washington Academy put another one in the bag on Wednesday to keep their perfect season alive. Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Sumner Tigers a 21-0 shutout. The Raiders have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Tigers, too.
Parker Cates made a splash no matter where he played. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out seven over four innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI, two runs, and one double. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high.
In other batting news, Colby Moholland was a standout: he went 2-for-4 with one home run, four RBI, and two runs. That's the most RBI he has posted since back in May of 2024. Trevor Shimabukuro also deserves some recognition as he hit his first double of the season.
Washington Academy hit smart and finished the game with only two strikeouts. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their strikeout total in three consecutive games.
