Washington - Baseball
DUBUQUE - The Cedar Rapids Washington baseball had a tough day in Dubuque Friday.
The Warriors were swept by Dubuque Hempstead in a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader, 5-1 and 9-8.
Hempstead scored three unearned runs in the first game and Washington left seven runners on base. Noah Dostal had two hits for the Warriors (7-4, 5-3).
A.J. Puk had three hits, four RBIs and a two-run homer for Washington in the second game.

Major League baseball teams love tall pitchers with strong arms.
That's good, because the Metro area of Cedar Rapids and Marion has plenty to offer for the amateur draft that begins Thursday.
There's A.J. Puk, the 6-foot-7 lefthander from Cedar Rapids Washington with the low-90's fastball and a nasty breaking ball.

IOWA CITY - Freshman Johnny Dobbs pitched 6.2 innings of four-hit ball Tuesday to help Washington to a 3-2 win over Iowa City High in a makeup of a baseball game rained out May 28.
Dobbs struck out two and walked one. Noah Burdt got the final out for a save.
Burdt also had two hits and drove in a run for the Warriors (7-2, 5-1). Matt Troendle had a hit and an RBI.

The Xavier Saints and Washington Warriors met in the championship game of the Bob Vrbicek Metro Tournament less than two weeks ago and it was an 11-1 mismatch in Xavier's favor.
The rematch Monday night was as tight as it gets as the clubs traded 3-2 victories in a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader at Washington.
Logan Clarahan’s RBI single and a bases-loaded walk to Bryce Grimm in the top of the eighth inning gave Xavier a 3-2 victory in the nightcap.
Clarahan had two of Xavier’s six hits while Reggie Schulte, Eric Schemmel and Mitch Keller combined to throw a one-hitter.
“I had two strikes and I just knew I was going to get a curveball so I just went with it,” said Clarahan. “My mindset was to just get the run in.”
Runs were hard to come by for the Saints, who stranded 24 runners in the doubleheader.

Tony Lombardi is trying to keep it simple.
His Washington Warriors baseball team has starters ranging from an eighth-grader (his son Rocky) to a possible soon-to-be professional baseball player (A.J. Puk) and several others in-between.
“I am really proud of these kids, they have come a long way,” Lombardi said after his team’s sweep of Cedar Rapids Jefferson on Friday night at Jefferson. “Our goal is to come out here and be the kind of team you have to beat. That was not our moniker a year ago.”
