Ten must be Washington's lucky number: they beat Bloomington with that score not once but twice on Saturday. The Panthers didn't even let the Purple Raiders on the board, marking the Panthers' second-straight 10-0 shutout. Considering the Panthers have won 11 contests by more than five runs this season, Saturday's blowout was nothing new.

The victory (which was Washington's third in a row) raised their record to 20-9. The wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.7 runs on average over those games. As for Bloomington, this is the second loss in a row for them and nudges their season record down to 10-16.

Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Washington will welcome Canton at 7:00 p.m. on Monday. As for Bloomington, they will be playing in front of their home fans against Champaign Central at 3:30 p.m. on Monday. The Maroons' pitching crew has only allowed 3.6 runs per game this season, so the Purple Raiders' hitters will have their work cut out for them.
