Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Washington). Their pitchers stepped up to hand the Mission San Jose Warriors a 15-0 shutout on Wednesday. The Huskies have beaten the Warriors the last four times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Warriors has come to flipping the script.

He also tossed no earned runs, which is notable because Washington is undefeated when he allows at most one earned run, but 8-9 otherwise. Marks was also stellar in the batter's box, going 3-for-5 with two runs, two doubles, and two RBI. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April.

Back at the plate, the team relied heavily on Tristan Wells, who went 3-for-4 with four runs, two doubles, and one triple. Those four runs gave him a new career-high. Noah Paek was another key player, going 2-for-3 with three stolen bases and two runs.
Washington kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 18 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.
Washington's victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 14-9.
