SEATTLE – Washington fell behind just three batters into the game on Saturday and were never able to climb out of the hole, falling 8-6 to Arizona State to even the series at a game apiece.

Jared Engman took the loss, surrendering six runs on seven hits over 3.2 innings. Grant Cunningham's 2.1 scoreless highlighted five arms out of the bullpen for UW.

The Sun Devils jumped all over the Huskies early, notching four first inning hits, three for extra bases, to go up 2-0.

Cam Clayton responded for the Huskies, launching a leadoff homer to left in the home half.

However, ASU scored four in the third, including a two-run home run, to re-extend the lead out to 6-1.

The Huskies got three home in the sixth on an AJ Guerrero two-run shot to left and a fielding error at short that allowed Jeter Ybarra to come home. Will Simpson pummeled a ball to dead center but Isaiah Jackson robbed it at the wall, taking away a three-run nuke that would have given UW the lead.

With momentum building on U Dub's side, the Sun Devils got two runs back in the eighth when a ball got trapped between the fences in left field, allowing Isaiah Jackson to come all the way around for an inside-the-park home run.

Washington plated a pair in the ninth and put the tying run on second but a ground ball ended the ball game as ASU setup a Sunday rubber match.

QUICK HITS
• AJ Guerrero's sixth-inning home run extended his hitting streak to 10 games, his second double digit streak of the season.
• Cam Clayton recorded two hits on the day, his third straight multi-hit game.
