Lake Washington Whips Juanita 7-3

Victor Mayorquin, one of the LW offensive leaders, went 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs as the Kangs scattered 11 hits. Kory Kohwles and Zach Jonson each went 2-for-3 with an RBI for Lake Washington.

Kangs starter Wesley Russell pitched six innings, giving up seven hits and three runs while striking out five.

JJ Caldwell went 2-for-3 at the plate for the Rebels.
