Post 12 splits home games
Washburn Post 12 experienced both sides of a close baseball game last week, suffering a tough late loss to Garrison before responding with an offensive explosion and a no-hitter in an 11-2 victory over Central McLean.
The two-game stretch showcased both strong pitching performances and the resilience of a Washburn squad that quickly put a narrow defeat behind it.
On Tuesday, June 16, Washburn dropped a 2-1 decision to the Garrison Titans in a tightly contested game that remained scoreless through the first three innings.
Both teams struggled to generate offense early as pitchers controlled the game.
Washburn starter Ethan Retterath was outstanding on the mound, turning in a complete game effort while allowing just four hits and no earned runs over seven innings.
Retterath struck out seven batters and walked two while keeping the Titans off balance throughout the evening.
