Having struggled with three defeats in a row, Washburn turned things around against Ashland on Friday. They put the hurt on the Hornets with a sharp 11-1 win. The Beavers' hitters stepped up their game for this one, as that was the most runs they've scored all season.

The batters for both teams will have to hit smart on Monday as both have some strikeout artists on the roster. Washburn has been retiring batters left and right this season, having averaged 7.8 strikeouts per game. However, it's not like Hodgdon struggles in that department as they've been averaging 8 strikeouts. Considering how easily both teams rack up Ks, the hitters on both teams better bring their A-game into this one.
Washburn couldn't quite finish off Hodgdon when the teams last played last Tuesday and fell 12-10. Will the Beavers have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
