Doubleheader at Saint Mary’s Suspended Due To Darkness

MORAGA, Calif. – Washington State saw the second game of its doubleheader at Saint Mary's College suspended in the eighth inning due to darkness. Saint Mary's claimed the opening game of the day 14-8 despite a two-homer game from Collin Montez and three hits from Kyle Manzardo, who also homered.
 
GAME 1
The Cougars pushed pair of runs across in the first inning after Dillon Plew scored from second on a Saint Mary's throwing error and Danny Sinatro later scored from second after a Kyle Manzardo two-out RBI-single back up the middle. In the second, WSU loaded the bases and pushed two runs across on a sacrifice fly from Plew and an RBI-single from Sinatro for a 4-1 advantage.
 
In the third, Manzardo pushed the Cougar lead to 5-1 with a solo homer, pulling an 0-2 pitch over the right field wall for his first career long ball.
 
In the fourth, the Gaels used six hits, a walk and a hit-by-pitch to push seven runs across for an 8-5 lead. In the fifth, WSU received a long solo home run from Collin Montez to right field, his first of the season, cutting the lead to 8-6.
 
In the sixth, the Cougars gut the lead to 8-7 after a two-out RBI-single from Dillon Plew over the third baseman. WSU loaded the bases with two outs but the rally ended with a called strike three.
