Johnstone’s Four Hits Leads Cougars Past San Francisco

PULLMAN, Wash. (April 7, 2025) – Logan Johnstone collected four hits and drove in three runs as Washington State closed its homestand with an 8-3 win over San Francisco at Bailey-Brayton Field Monday afternoon.
 
WSU, who took two of three from San Jose State over the weekend, had six players record hits led by Johnstone and Jonah Shull who tallied three hits and two RBI. Leadoff hitter Max Hartman reached base four times with two hits, two walks and scored twice while Ricco Longo doubled and scored three runs.
 
The Cougars scored twice in the opening frame to back starter Miles Chandler who retired the first six hitters he faced before giving way to Ingmar Hutzezon who set season-highs with seven strikeouts over 4.2 innings and allowed just one run to earn his first career win. Rylan Haider picked up his third save after entering the bases loaded in the eighth and picked up the final four outs.
 
WSU answered USF's third-inning run with a run in the third, one in the fifth and four more in the sixth.
 
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
Chandler opened the game with three straight strikeouts before the Cougars used four hits to take a 2-0 lead after a Ryan Skjonsby RBI-groundout and Logan Johnstone RBI-single. Both teams traded runs in the third inning as Gavin Roy lined a pitch the other way for an RBI-single and a 3-1 Cougar lead.
 
Hutzezon took over Chandler in the third and posted scoreless fourth and fifth innings as the Cougar added a run in the fifth on Shull's RBI-groundout to shortstop.
 
In the sixth, USF pushed a run across and threatened for more with a runner on third before Hutzezon ended the inning with a called third strike. WSU pulled away with four runs in their half of the sixth with Skjonsby's bases-loaded walk, Johnstone pulled a two-run single through the right side and Shull followed with an RBI-infield single to shortstop for an 8-2 lead.
