February 17, 2020 | Baseball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – Washington State dropped a close 3-1 nonconference contest at CSUN Monday afternoon. Jack Smith led the way with a pair of hits and Kyle Manzardo recorded a hit for the fourth straight game while junior lefthander Tanner West worked five innings in his Cougar debut.     Â

CSUN tied things up in the fourth with a solo homer to left field and took a 2-1 lead an inning later after a couple miscues.
