Weekend Wrap: University of Washington

Another Pac-10 team was in the third base dugout and the tough times continued. The Huskies took two of three from Long Beach dropping the Boys of Blair to 4-6 and just 1-5 at home against Pac-10 foes so far this season.

In the rubber game Sunday Long Beach took an early 2-0 lead but Andrew Kittredge, Washington's starter and weekend warrior, settled in and held on for a 6-4 win.

Sophomore Drew Gagnon was the hero for The Beach Saturday afternoon going the distance in a 3-1 LBSU win that may push him to the Friday start next week. Gagnon gave up just one unearned run, allowing a meager three hits and striking out four Huskies batters.

It was his first career complete game and a huge boost after Friday night's heartbreaker. Brennan Metzger was the only Dirtbag with two hits, adding a run scored and an RBI.

Friday night was one to forget for The Beach. They led 6-0 after three and 9-4 after five but a seven-run Huskies seventh pushed UW to an 11-9 win.

Metzger added three more hits and two RBI's while Kellen Hoime had two of each and Jordan Casas also recorded a multi-hit game.

Jake Thompson struggled for a second straight start and was unable to make it out of the fourth.

LBSU hosts the Aztecs of San Diego State tomorrow night before finishing the homestand with three games against the Wichita State Shockers.
