Cougars Drop Rubber Game at Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. – Washington State dropped the series rubber game 9-2 to Arizona at Hi Corbett Field Sunday afternoon. The Wildcats won Friday's opener 5-4 and WSU came back with a 5-4 victory Saturday.
 
The Cougars (5-14, 1-5 Pac-12) received three hits from senior JJ Hancock who also homered. WSU also received a pinch-hit RBI-single from senior pinch-hitter Ryan Ramsower.
 
Arizona (13-10, 2-4 Pac-12) used four straight two-out hits to push three runs across in the opening frame. The Wildcat bats stayed hot the following inning, scored four more in the second inning to open up a 7-0 lead.
 
In the fifth inning, Hancock put the Cougars on the board with a long homer to right field, a no-doubter for his first of the season.
 
In the sixth, Arizona pushed the lead to 8-1 with a single through the left side.
 
In the seventh, WSU saw James Rudkin hit by a pitch and Hancock followed by driving a ball the other way into the left-centerfield gap for a double. The Cougars called up pinch-hitter and Tucson native Ryan Ramsower who lined an RBI-single back up the middle to score Rudkin.
 
In the bottom half of the seventh, Arizona again answered with a run to push the lead to 9-2.
