Cougars Fall in Series-Opener at USC
April 18, 2019 | Baseball
LOS ANGELES – Washington State dropped its series-opener 4-0 to USC at Dedeaux Field Friday evening.
Â
The Cougars received solid pitching performances from starter Ky Bush (3 IP, 2 ER, 2 K) and reliever Bryce Moyle who matched career highs with 3.1 innings and three strikeouts while not allowing a run.
Â
WSU brought the tying run to the plate after leadoff doubles in the third and seventh innings but USC starting pitcher Conner Lunn kept the Cougars off the board all night in his complete game effort. The Trojans collected 11 hits but just one went for extra bases, a double.
Â
In the second, USC used three-straight singles to push a run across for a 1-0 advantage and added run in the third on an RBI-groundout for a 2-0 lead before tacking on two more runs in the eighth.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Collin Montez singled and recorded his team-leading 6th stolen base of the season
Tyson Guerrero singled and stole 2nd
Dillon Plew's 7-game hitting streak was snapped
Â
NEXT UP
The series continues Friday at 6 p.m.
