Cougars Drop Nonconference Contest at Gonzaga
April 17, 2017 | Baseball
Â
SPOKANE, Wash. – Washington State dropped a nonconference contest 9-4 to Gonzaga at the Patterson Baseball Complex Monday evening.
Â
The Cougars (15-18) received two hits and two RBI from sophomore shortstop Andres Alvarez and an RBI-double from junior first baseman James Rudkin who extended his hitting streak to seven. Sophomore left fielder Justin Harrer also scored a run, extending his on-base streak to a team-best 11 games. Senior lefthander Trenton Dupre worked 3.2 innings of relief, striking out three. Gonzaga (21-14) recorded 13 hits and took advantage of six walks and two Cougar errors to take the first of three meetings between the two teams.
Â
Gonzaga used three hits to score twice in the first inning before pushing four runs across in the third inning, taking advantage of four walks and a WSU error to push the lead to 6-0.
Â
The Cougars put a run on the board in the fourth as Justin Harrer walked, moved to second on a wild pitch before Rudkin lined a pitch down the right field line for an RBI-double, scoring Harrer. The Bulldogs answered back with a sacrifice fly to make it 7-1.
Â
Washington State loaded the bases in the fifth inning but a runner was thrown out at home after tagging up from third on a fly out, ending the inning. After Gonzaga added another run in the sixth, the Cougars again loaded the bases in the seventh but a popup and line out to left ended the inning.
Â
Alvarez brought home two runs with a bases-loaded double to left in the ninth and another run scored on a wild pitch.
Â
Gonzaga starter Daniel Bies earned the win after allowing one earned run in six innings.
Â
The Cougars return home to host Seattle at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
