May 03, 2026 | Baseball
Washington improves to 21-26 and 10-14 in Big Ten play.
For the third straight game, the Dawgs got on the board in the first inning. Jackson Hotchkiss led off the game with a single before Sam DeCarlo ripped his seventh home run of the season.
The towering shot went 393 feet to left field and put the Huskies in front 2-0. They'd hold onto that lead for the remainder of the game.
Hayden Lewis turned in an impressive showing against the ranked Ducks. The senior right hander tossed a career-high eight total innings with seven hits and just two earned runs against eight strikeouts.
After allowing one run in the second inning, Lewis kept the Ducks off the board for five straight frames.
Holding a 2-1 advantage, the Huskies came up to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning and unleashed a barrage. In total, Washington would score seven runs in a 36-minute half inning.
Braeden Terry got the scoring started with an RBI single before back-to-back sacrifice flies from Aidan Dougherty and Casen Taggart made it three runs scored.
Jackson Hotchkiss then tagged his 16th home run of the season, a 405-foot solo shot to left field.
Not to be outdone by his teammate, Blake Wilson teed off a three-run 365-foot home run just a few at bats later, bringing the inning run total to seven. It's the second-most rusn the Ducks have allowed in a single inning all season, trailing the eight they gave up to Michigan on April 2.
Oregon plated three in the eighth and one in the ninth, but the Huskies held on the secure the series finale victory.
Sam DeCarlo led all Husky hitters, going 3-3 on the day while Jackson Hotchkiss, Ty Cowan, and Braeden Terry each chipped in two hits.
Hayden Lewis earned his sixth win of the year while Bryce Johnson closed out the game, throwing the final frame with two hits, one run, and one strikeout.
The Huskies return to action on Tuesday at Seattle U at 4 p.m. Following the midweek matchup, Washington takes on Penn State over the weekend for its final regular season road series.
