It’s Playoff time in Washington.

The Warrior baseball team is hosting Comanche and Alva today (Thursday).

Head coach Brad Lucas likes his team’s mentality as they head into the playoffs.

“We’re in a really good spot right now,” he said. “Washington Warrior baseball is getting ready to come out.

Washington opens with Alva (15-15) at 1:30 p.m. and will turn around and play Comanche (12-14) at 4 p.m.

Lucas thinks his pitching staff could give them an edge as they navigate the playoffs.

“We have some dudes who can pitch it and are ready to go,” he said. “Spencer Barton and Owen Andrews are ready. But we are so deep pitching-wise that we’ll give ourselves a chance.”

Heritage Hall

Washington defeated Heritage Hall 18-10 on April 22.

“We played really well against Heritage Hall,” Lucas said. “We had 19 hits and 18 runs.”
