Box Score

TUCSON, Ariz. – Washington was able to hold off the Arizona offense in the early going during Saturday's series finale but ultimately couldn't sustain, falling 13-1 at Hi Corbett Field.

Jared Engman allowed two runs over four innings in defeat, while the Huskies emptied the bullpen with six relief arms used.

After leaving a pair on in the first, Arizona jumped ahead in the second on Emilio Corona's two-run home run to left.

Despite surrendering the early lead, the Huskies continued to tip toe around danger to keep things close. Engman got out of a bases loaded, one out jam in the third and stranded a runner in the fourth before handing the ball to Sam Boyle, who left two runners on in the fifth.

Meanwhile, the Huskies got one of the two runs back in the top of the fifth. Sam DeCarlo led off with a sharp single before Cam Clayton's double put a pair in scoring position. Johnny Tincher was robbed of an extra base knock in left that would have tied the game but UW had to settle for a sac fly to cut the deficit to 2-1.

The Huskies were unable to walk the tight rope in the sixth as a 2-out walk loaded the bases before Chase Davis blooped a single into right field, plating a pair to extend the Wildcat lead back out to 4-1.

Arizona took advantage of some wildness on the mound for the Huskies, scoring a pair of runs in the seventh on a sacrifice fly and a passed ball.

The Dawgs threatened in the eighth, putting a pair of runners on, but couldn't break through and the home team blew things open in their half, scoring 7 runs before closing things out in the ninth.
