Big Early Lead Holds Up As Washington Evens Series At Arizona State
May 04, 2024 | Baseball
Â
Starter Calvin Kirchoff earned his fourth win of the season, while Sam Boyle gave 4.0 innings of relief with two runs allowed, striking out three.
Â
After AJ Guerrero got the Dawgs on the board with a solo shot to center in the 1st, Washington put together a barrage in the second to go up 6-0.
Â
Cooper Whitton's single to center brought home Cam Clayton, with Whitton coming home along with Colin Blanchard on Aiva Arquette's bases-loaded single to left. Braeden Terry walked to refill the bags and Guerrero shot a single to center to move the runners station to station before Jeter Ybarra watched four balls with nowhere to put him, scratching across another Husky run.
Â
Sam DeCarlo started a two-out rally in the third with a single to center, coming all the way around on Arquette's rocket to the gap in left-center. Terry drew another walk to put two on and Guerrero hammered another offering, tanking a three-run no doubt shot to left. By inning's end, it was 10-0 in favor of Washington.
Â
The Huskies added two more in the fourth despite not registering a hit thanks to three walks, a fielder's choice and a wild pitch. A solo home run in the home half got the Sun Devils on the board but the Huskies answered right back with two more as Ybarra pulled a double to the left-center gap, bringing in Terry and Guerrero to make it 14-1.
Â
Three Sun Devil runs in the fifth and sixth and another single run in the seventh tightened the gap to 14-7 but the Huskies were able to stem the bleeding before it got out of hand, evening the series at a game apiece.
Â
Washington and Arizona State will square off in a rematch at 6:30 p.m. PT on Saturday. The game will be available on both Pac-12 Arizona and Pac-12 Washington.
