Washington Union's game last Tuesday was a loss, but they didn't let that memory haunt them on Friday. They walked away with a 13-9 win over the Roosevelt Rough Riders. With that victory, the Panthers brought their scoring average up to 6.1 runs per game.

Callie Flores spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered seven earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits. Those hits were her first of the season.

At the plate, Ariana Garcia was a standout: she scored three runs while going 3-for-5. That's the most runs she has posted since back in March of 2024. Zoe Freitas was another key player, scoring three runs while going 2-for-4.

Garcia wasn't the only one working in the hit department: Washington Union kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 15 hits. The team's really been improving in that area: they've now improved their hit total in three consecutive matchups.

With the win, Washington Union broke their five-game losing streak and moved their record to 2-6. As for Roosevelt, they have been struggling recently as they've lost six of their last seven contests. That's put a noticeable dent in their 5-6 record this season.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Washington Union will host Immanuel at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Immanuel's pitching crew has only allowed three runs per game this season, so Washington Union's hitters will have their work cut out for them. As for Roosevelt, they will welcome Mendota at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
