BERKELEY, Calif. – Washington State dropped its series-finale at California 9-5 Sunday afternoon.

The Cougars received two-hits from Tyson Guerrero and a solo home run from sophomore Collin Montez. Guerrero also pitched a scoreless eighth, striking out a pair along the way. Cal collected 13 hits including a pair of homers.

In the first, Hayden Rosenkrantz worked around a leadoff single and stranded a runner at third after a strikeout, a pop out and groundout to Kodie Kolden at third base. In the second, Montez led off the inning a long solo homer to right field for his third of the season and a 1-0 Cougar lead.

In the bottom of the second, Cal answered with four runs, using a solo homer and three more hits in the inning to take a 4-1 advantage. The Bears added a run in the fourth and hit a two-run homer in the fifth and added runs in the sixth and seventh for a 9-2 lead.

In the eight, WSU pushed three runs across after an RBI-double from Anthony Notaro and a RBI-single from Tyson Guerrero and another run scored on a Cal throwing error. The Cougars put runners on second and third in the inning but saw the threat turned away with a fly out to centerfield for the third out.
