The Washington Huskies are headed away from home for the first time to take on the Pittsburg Pirates at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. The two teams each escaped (but just barely!) with wins against their previous opponents.
Washington is headed out to face Pittsburg after opening their season at home and giving their fans just what they were looking for. Washington sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with an 8-6 win over Mt. Eden on Wednesday. The victory continues a trend for the Huskies in their matchups with the Monarchs: they've now won four in a row.
Joseph Guerra was a major factor while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing one inning while giving up no earned runs or hits. Guerra was also big at the plate, scoring a run while going 2-for-2.
Guerra wasn't the only one making solid contact as four players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Hugo Marks, who scored two runs while going 2-for-4. Another was Peyton Romero, who got on base in two of his three plate appearances with one stolen base and one RBI.
Meanwhile, it may have taken eight innings to finish the job, but Pittsburg ultimately got the result they hoped for on Thursday. They won by a run and slipped past Miramonte 3-2. The Pirates' win was nothing new given the team hasn't lost yet this season.
Washington suffered a grim 9-1 defeat to Pittsburg in their previous matchup back in March of 2024. Can Washington avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
