BYU Shuts Out Huskies, 4-0, To Win Series
April 20, 2019 | Baseball
SEATTLE βΒ BYU scored three times in the sixth inning, which proved to be plenty for starting pitcher Justin Sterner and two relievers, as the Cougars handed Washington a 4-0 defeat Saturday at Husky Ballpark. The win gave the Cougars (26-10) a 2-1 series win over the Huskies (17-17).
Β
The teams were engaged in a pitcher's battle until BYU broke the ice with three runs in the sixth. The Cougars got their first run on an RBI double by Brock Hale off Chris Micheles (3-2) and then scored their next two runs on a bases loaded hit by pitch and walk.
Β
They would add an unearned insurance run on the board in the eighth.
Β
The Huskies struggled to get base runners against Sterner (7-3), putting two on via hits and one by an error. The sophomore pitcher struck out seven in 7 1/3 innings of work and did not walk a batter in picking up his seventh win of the year.
Β
The Huskies best opportunity to get on the board came in the ninth after they started the inning with a walk to Ramon Bramasco and aΒ Braiden Ward single. But BYU called on its freshman phenom Reid McLaughlin and he set down the next three Huskies without allowing a run.
Β
Freshman David Rhodes got the start and allowed two hits in four shutout innings to lower his ERA to 3.21.
Β
Offensively, the Huskies got hits from Ben Baird, Colton Cassinelli and Ward.
Β
UW heads to Portland to face the Pilots on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. before returning home for a three-game series vs. Arizona State, Friday through Sunday at Husky Ballpark.
