COLORADO SPRINGS (May 10, 2026) – Washington State dropped the series-finale 10-9 after Air Force scored five runs in the ninth inning to avoid the series sweep at Erdle Field Sunday afternoon.

Trevor Smith and Max Hartman each recorded three hits while Hartman drove in four runs. Gavin Roy and Kyler Northrop each tallied two hits while starter Luke Meyers worked six innings.
