WATERLOO - A.J. Puk made a triumphant return for the Cedar Rapids Washington baseball team Friday night after missing four weeks with a hairline fracture in his right thumb.
Puk struck out 12 batters in six innings as the Warriors trimmed Waterloo West, 5-4, in the first game of a Mississippi Valley Conference doubleheader.
The Warriors also won the second game, 13-9.

WATERLOO - Waterloo West's Lindsey Hansen had a night for the ages as the Wahawks won big Thursday versus Cedar Rapids Washington.
Hansen finished the doubleheader 6-for-6 with four home runs and six RBIs to lead West to a pair of five-inning wins, 22-11 and 10-0.
"She was on fire," said West Coach Tammy Utley.
When Hansen wasn't clearing the fence she was still getting on base - drawing three walks - and the rest of the lineup had no trouble bringing her home. The Wahawks (10-24, 8-16) combined for 26 hits in the doubleheader and all 22 runs in the opener were earned.
Grant Dostal and his younger brother, Noah, made Cedar Rapids Washington's 7-4 victory over Dubuque Wahlert a family affair at Washington Wednesday night.
Grant Dostal pitched the first six innings for the victory and Noah Dostal tossed the seventh inning for the save.
Will Rings collected a double, triple and two RBIs in the victory for the Warriors (5-26, 2-18). Matt Troendle and Trevor Thulin had two hits and an RBI.
Wahlert gained a split of the Mississippi Valley Conference twinbill with a 6-4 victory in the other game. Zach Gillis had three hits for Washington. Troendle and Johnny Dobbs had two hits apiece.
The Warriors stranded 13 runners in the setback.
CEDAR FALLS - The Cedar Rapids Warriors snapped their 16-game losing streak Monday night by defeating Cedar Falls, 8-4, in the first game of a Mississippi Valley Conference baseball doubleheader in Cedar Falls.
The Tigers won the second game, 4-1.
Washington (4-25, 1-17) won its first conference game this season behind sophomore Matt Troendle in the opener. Troendle allowed one run in six innings. He collected four strikeouts and was touched for only four hits.
The buzz at Washington High School prior to a pair of Mississippi Valley Conference games against Prairie Monday night was about A.J. Puk and Brennan Hammer, a couple of star players who were not in uniform due to injuries.
Prairie swept the twinbill from the struggling Warriors, 15-5 and 12-0.
Washington star Puk has been sidelined with a broken thumb, but he did manage to go to a showcase event in Minneapolis last week to show the scouts his pitching skills. It was feasible because he's left-handed and the broken thumb is on his right hand.
