Cougars Drop Finale, Earn Series Win at No. 9 Arizona
April 10, 2022 | Baseball
TUCSON, Ariz. (April 10, 2022) – Washington State dropped the series-finale 5-2 but earned a series win over No. 9 Arizona at Hi Corbett Field.
Â
The Cougars (12-19, 4-11 Pac-12) received two hits from Kyler Stancato and a pinch-hit two-run single from Bryce Matthews while Cam Liss worked three scoreless innings of relief and tallied six strikeouts.
Â
WSU clinched their first series in Tucson since 2014, their first road series win over a nationally-ranked team since taking two of three at No. 14 Washington in 2016 and posted their first road series win over a Top-10 team since taking two of three at No. 6/8 Oregon in 2012.
Â
Arizona (22-10, 10-5 Pac-12) avoided the sweep by collecting nine hits, used a three-run fourth inning and saw their pitching staff leave eight Cougar baserunners on base.
Â
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
In the second, Arizona used a bloop double to left field, a wild pitch and an RBI-groundout to shortstop to take a 1-0 lead.
Â
The Cougars put two runners on in the first and second innings but a pair of flyouts ended the threats.
Â
In the fourth, Arizona took advantage with a pair of walks and used a pair of RBI-singles to plate three runs in the fourth inning for a 4-0 lead. The Wildcats added a solo homer in the fifth inning.
Â
In the eighth, the Cougars put a pair of runners on with two outs in the eighth inning and both moved up a base on a wild pitch before pinch-hitter Bryce Matthews delivered a two-out two-run single back up the middle to make it a 5-2 Arizona lead. The Wildcat bullpen ended the threat with a fly out to centerfield.
Â
In the ninth, pinch-hitter Keith Jones II singled to left with one out and moved to second on a wild pitch but was stranded to end the game.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCOREÂ
Jack Smith singled in the 1st inning to extend his on-base streak to 15 games
Dakota Hawkins worked an inning of relief in the 5th, struck out 2, 1st appearance since week 2
Â
NEXT UP
WSU returns home to host a three-game series with California beginning Thursday.
