Katahdin is a perfect 8-0 against Washburn since May of 2021 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Cougars will challenge the Beavers at 4:00 p.m. Washburn took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on Katahdin, who comes in off a win.
While Cougars fans will have to keep waiting for their team to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Tuesday's season opener. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past Hodgdon 8-6. The win continues a trend for the Cougars in their matchups with the Hawks: they've now won five in a row.
Josh Martin made a big impact no matter where he played. On the mound, he struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up four earned (and two unearned) runs off eight hits. Martin was also stellar in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with three RBI, two runs, and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Calvin Richardson, who went 1-for-3 with three runs and one stolen base. Bryten Hartsgrove was another key player, going a perfect 3-for-3 with one RBI.
Meanwhile, Washburn fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Southern Aroostook on Saturday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They fell just short of the Warriors by a score of 4-3. The Beavers have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Like Katahdin, Washburn also got a great game from a two-way player: Blake King. He struck out 14 batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned (and two unearned) runs off three hits (and only one walk). King was also big at the plate, going 2-for-3 with five stolen bases and three runs. He has been hot, having posted at least one stolen base the last seven times he's played.
Everything went Katahdin's way against Washburn when the teams last played back in May of 2024, as Katahdin made off with a 21-4 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Cougars since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
