SEATTLE (March 29, 2024) – Washington State dropped a 14-5 contest to Washington in The Boeing Apple Cup Series at Husky Ballpark Friday evening. The Cougars won Thursday's opener 4-0 behind Grant Taylor's 17-strikeout one-hitter.

Washington State (16-10, 6-5 Pac-12) saw four players record two-hit games as Alan Shibley and Griffen Sotomayor each doubled and drove in a run but the Cougars combined to leave eight runners on base.

UW (7-12-1, 2-6 Pac-12) collected 13 hits and used a seven-run fourth and six-run eighth inning to even the series.

KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
In the third, the first two UW singled to start the inning but a bunt went right back to Wilford on the mound who got the lead runner at third before getting the next two hitters with a flyout and groundout to end the threat.

In the fourth inning, Shibley punched an RBI-single the other way through the left side but the Huskies took advantage of a WSU error, three walks and a pair of homers to build a 7-1 lead in the bottom of the inning. The Cougars came right back with two runs on RBI-singles from Cole Cramer and Casen Taggart in the fifth to make it a 7-3 game before UW hit a solo shot in the sixth push the lead back to 8-3.

In the eighth, Sotomayor drove the first pitch he saw off the wall in right-centerfield for an RBI-double and Crew Parke followed with a run scoring sacrifice fly to cut the UW lead to 8-5. Washington pulled away with a six-run eighth inning.
