Cheney was sadly handed a defeat on Thursday, but Shawn Verduzco did his best to prevent it. Verduzco scored two runs and stole three bases while going 1-for-2, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
Even though Verduzco couldn't lead Cheney over Gonzaga Prep, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. The Blackhawks will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 75 places lower in Washington), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Verduzco? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
