Walk-Off Walk Leads Huskies Past Utes In 10 Innings
March 18, 2017 | Baseball
SEATTLE Β βΒ Levi Jordan walked with the bases loaded in the 10th inning to force in the winning run and give the 23rd-ranked Huskies a 4-3 win and doubleheader sweep over Utah Saturday at Husky Ballpark.
Β
The game had been tied, 3-3, since the fourth inning before Washington (11-6, 2-0 Pac-12) was able to get to Utah (9-7, 0-2) reliever Dylan Drachler (0-1) in extra innings. Joey Morgan started the winning rally with a one-out double. Pinch-hitter Nick Kahle was walked intentionally and pinch-hitter Josh Cushing worked the count for a walk of his own. Jordan fouled off the first pitch of his at bat before taking four-straight balls to send the home team into a celebration at first base.
Β
Alex Hardy (4-0) pitched a perfect 10th inning to pick up his fourth win in five appearances.
Β
Hardy was the third reliever of the game for the Huskies and part of a UW bullpen that was nearly untouchable in both games of the double header. Including the Huskies game one win, 3-1, the bullpen threw 15 scoreless innings, allowed just six hits and struck out 13 Utes batters.
Β
The offense notched nine hits in the nightcap, which proved to be just enough to squeak by with two wins.
Β
Washington scored in each of the first two innings to take an early 2-0 advantage. Morgan collected a RBI single β the first of four hits on the evening for the junior catcher β with two outs in the first inning and Gage Matuszak scored an unearned run in the second to keep the momentum going from their earlier victory in game one.
Β
But, the Utes stole momentum right back in the top of the third, scoring three times to take a 3-2 advantage. Utah loaded the bases off starter Josh Burgmann before an out was recorded. Jordan Jones took over from there and Utah chipped away at the lead, scoring on a RBI single by DaShawn Keirsey Jr., a bases loaded walk to Dallas Carroll and a sacrifice fly by Hunter Simmons.
Β
Washington tied things back up, 3-3, in the fourth on a KJ Brady double. Levi Jordan started the inning with an infield single and was sacrificed to third by AJ Graffanino. Brady stepped up and sliced the ball down the left-field line sending Jordan home. It was part of a 3-for-4 night for the junior outfielder.
Β
Jones was fantastic in relief, lasting 6 1/3 innings, giving up three hits, walking one and striking out three.
Β
The Huskies and Utes wrap up the series Sunday with a 2 p.m. start. The game will be carried live on the Pac-12 Network.
