Washburn leads Twins to win over the Southridge Bandits.

The final statline might not have reflected dominant pitching, but Julian Washburn's commanding performance on the mound Friday helped the Lewis-Clark Twins earn a 10-3 win over the Southridge Bandits. The senior right-hander scattered nine hits in a complete-game showing on the second day of the Dwight Church Tournament at Harris Field. "This was his best start of the year," Lewis-Clark coach Kevin Maurer said. "Each time he gave up a hit, he didn't let them get too much farther." Washburn didn't allow a walk and threw only 15 pitches in the final two innings of play. The senior got an early boost from his offense, which scored four runs in the opening inning. "I was very impressed with how we came out of the gate, with it being our first night game against a really good team," Maurer said. "We had three hits that inning, all coming with two strikes, so we had some very tough at-bats." Jaden Phillips propelled the Twins (6-1) during the inning with a bases-clearing double to plate three runs. Leadoff batter Riley Way went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles. "In all four of his at-bats he was able to square the ball up," Maurer said of Way's approach at the plate. The Twins put the game away in the bottom of the fourth with a six-run scoring outburst fueled by five hits. "Their pitcher did a pretty good job of keeping us off balance with his off-speed," Maurer said. "We asked our guys before the inning to take it the other way." In other tournament action, the Hanford Flames earned a mercy-rule 10-2 victory over Hodgen Distributing, while the Missoula Mavericks also secured a 7-0 shutout against Hodgen. Today's slate includes a 9 a.m. matchup between Hanford and the Spokane North Stars, while Hodgen continues play in an 11:45 a.m. meeting against Southridge. The Bandits are also scheduled to play in a 2:30 p.m. game against the Flames, while Spokane squares off with Missoula at 4:45 p.m. The Twins cap off the night with a 7:30 p.m. game against the Mavericks.
