Cougars Drop Series-Opener to Nevada
April 17, 2025 | Baseball
PULLMAN, Wash. (April 17, 2025) – Washington State dropped the series-opening to Nevada 19-0 at Bailey-Brayton Field Thursday evening.
Â
The Cougars received two hits from Kyler Northrop while starting pitcher Nick Lewis allowed just three earned runs while working into the seventh inning. Nevada turned a 1-0 lead into a 19-0 win with six runs in the seventh, one in the eighth and 11 in the ninth.
Â
Nevada starting pitcher Peyton Fosher was tough on the Cougar hitters all game, striking out five and scattered three hits over six innings.
Â
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
Nevada used a leadoff double down the left field line and a bloop single into centerfield to take a 1-0 lead in the third inning. Johnstone bounced a single up the middle in the fourth inning but the Cougars stranded a runner to end the frame.
Â
The Wolfpack nearly made it 2-0 in the fifth after an RBI-triple to right field but WSU appealed at third base that the runner missed the base and it was confirmed to wipe out the run and keep it 1-0. In the bottom of the frame, Luke Thiele bounced a single up the middle and Northrop put down a bunt single to third base with two outs but Nevada starter Peyton Fosher ended the threat with a flyout to right field, stranding two Cougar runners.
Â
In the seventh, Nevada used a pair of hits and a walk to load the bases before a bases-loaded walk brought in a run, a two-run single and error brought three runs home for a 5-0 advantage. UNR added two more runs on a wild pitch and a throwing error to make it 7-0. The Wolfpack added 11 runs in the ninth.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Logan Johnstone singled in the 4th to extend his hitting streak to 8 games and on-base streak to 10 games
