Warriors skidding without Puk, Gillis

The Cedar Rapids Washington baseball team got off to a promising start this season, but the Warriors are struggling now without A.J. Puk and Zac Gillis on the team.

Puk is leaving Saturday for the University of Florida, where he'll join the baseball program and attend summer school.

Gillis leaves next week for Iowa Western Community College, where he'll join the football team and take a class this summer.

Both of them stopped playing for Washington last week and the results have not been good without those two big bats in the lineup. The Warriors have an 0-and-4 record without them and have been outscored, 32-4.

Davenport North defeated Washington, 7-2, Wednesday night in a non-conference game at the Washington diamond.
