Huskies Hold On For Sweep In Game Two, 3-2
March 04, 2017 | Baseball
SEATTLE – MJ Hubbs homered and Joey Morgan drove in two runs to support an outstanding pitching effort by a pair of Husky freshmen as No. 11 Washington beat Sacramento State, 3-2, to sweep a double header Saturday at Husky Ballpark.
Jordan Jones (2-1), making his third career start on the mound for the Huskies (6-4), was excellent all evening in six innings of work. He allowed just five base runners on two hits, two walks and a hit batter. Jones struck out four.
Fellow freshman Josh Burgmann threw the final three innings, allowing just a two-out, two-run home run in the ninth inning to pick up his first career save.
Hubbs, a senior outfielder, broke up a scoreless game in the fourth with a solo blast to left-center field. He took a 1-0 offering from Sacramento State starter Parker Brahms (1-1) and hit a towering shot that sailed over the wall.
Hubbs accounted for the Huskies second run of the game too. He singled with two outs in the sixth and came all the way around from first on a double by Morgan.
The Huskies picked up a crucial insurance run in the eighth inning when Morgan laid down a safety squeeze with runners on the corners that allowed Kyle London to score and give the Huskies a 3-0 advantage.
For the second-consecutive game, UW saw a three-run ninth inning lead shrink when PJ Floyd jacked a home run over the right-field fence with a runner on, but this time it was a two-run shot instead of a three-run homer.
Burgmann was able to get pinch-hitter Kody Reynolds to strikeout looking to end the game and secure the doubleheader sweep.
"I was happy with the way we pitched, and I thought it was a good lesson for us when we manufactured that third run in the eighth," Husky Coach Lindsay Meggs said. "That third run made a big difference."
In game one of the double header, the Huskies lost a three-run lead on Floyd's ninth inning homer, but Gage Matuszak rescued the day with a walk-off, three-run shot of his own in the 10th inning.
Hubbs and AJ Graffanino each tallied two of the Huskies' six hits in game two.
Sac State (7-3) and Washington will wrap up the series Sunday with a noon game at Husky Ballpark.
