Arrows Sweep Sioux Falls Washington Behind Run‑Rule Rout and Walk‑Off Winner

Northeast Radio SD News – Watertown, SD - The Watertown Arrows closed out their regular season in dramatic fashion Saturday at Watertown Stadium, overpowering Sioux Falls Washington in a run‑rule opener before walking off the Warriors in Game 2 to complete the doubleheader sweep.

Game 1: Watertown 15, Sioux Falls Washington 0 (4 innings)

Watertown wasted no time setting the tone, erupting for 15 runs while Ashton Rabine fired a one‑hit shutout to secure a 15–0 victory in four innings.

Washington’s lone hit came from Caden Sporrer. Starter Sajen Haas took the loss, allowing 10 runs on seven hits over two innings.
