Huskies Drop Game One Of Series, 1-0, To No. 7 Oregon State
March 29, 2019 | Baseball
SEATTLE – Four Husky pitchers combined to strikeout 14 batters Friday night at Husky Ballpark, but seventh-ranked Oregon State made a first inning run standup in a 1-0 shutout in front of 1,483 fans.
UW freshman starter David Rhodes began and ended the first inning with strikeouts, but in between he gave up back-to-back, two-out doubles to Adley Rutschman and Tyler Malone to fall behind 1-0. It was the only run that Rhodes would allow in six-plus innings, but unfortunately it was the only run for either side on the night.
Rhodes (4-2) left trailing 1-0 after walking Ryan Ober to start the seventh, but it was still another remarkable performance for the first-year player. The Canadian right-hander struck out a career-high eight batters and recorded his fourth-straight quality start. He threw a career high 108 pitches, walked four and allowed five hits.
His counterpart on the mound, Brandon Eisert (6-0), came into the game with a 0.38 earned run average over 23 2/3 innings and he lived up to his billing, throwing a career-high 6 1/3 innings of shutout baseball, striking out nine, walking two and scattering four hits. He left in the seventh after allowing a double to Ben Baird, but Christian Chamberlain would get out of the jam unscathed.
UW had several scoring chances, getting runners in scoring position in the sixth and seventh innings, but the Huskies were unable to come up with a clutch two-out hit. The Huskies were held to four hits, while the Beavers only managed five themselves.
Leo Nierenberg struck out one in 2/3 innings, Chris Micheles struck out three in 1 1/3 innings and Stevie Emanuels whiffed a pair of Beavers in the ninth inning.
Mitchell Verburg retired the final two Husky batters to pick up his first save of the season.
The Huskies will try to even the series on Saturday. First pitch at Husky Ballpark is scheduled for 2:05 p.m.
