SEATTLE - Todd Linden and Marc Rittenhouse each hit two-run home runs to lead the Washington baseball team to a 7-4 win over Dayton Sunday at Husky Ballpark. The win gave the Huskies a sweep in the three-game series.
Washington improved to 6-9 on the year while Dayton lost its 13th straight game to fall to 3-13.
Rittenhouse's second-inning homer gave Washington a 4-1 lead, while Linden's, in the seventh inning off of reliever Kent Depue, capped the Husky scoring at 7-4.
UW junior starter Matt Massingale (2-1) struck out seven and walked only one in seven innings for the win. Two of the four runs he surrendered were unearned. Junior lefty Matt Gardner worked two scoreless innings for his first save. UD starter Brian Lyons (1-2) gave up five earned runs over six innings for the loss.
The Huskies got two RBI apiece from Linden, Rittenhouse and senior Ed Erickson. Second baseman Brent Robertson added two hits. Mark Schulte and Andy Boehmer led the Flyers with two hits each.
Washington hits the road for spring break tomorrow. The Huskies play three at Southern Utah before opening Pac-10 play next weekend against UCLA in Los Angeles.
