Washington Tops Seattle U 9-4 on the Road
May 02, 2023 | Baseball
BELLEVUE, Wash. – Washington (26-13) trailed briefly on Tuesday but ultimately proved too much in its road game at Seattle U (15-26), taking down the Redhawks 9-4 at Bannerwood Park.
Calvin Kirchoff improved to 2-0 on the season, allowing three runs on six hits over five full frames with a pair of strikeouts. Reilly McAdams pitched three shutout innings, while Grant Cunningham finished off the ninth.
The Redhawks opened scoring in the second as Matt Boissoneault hit a solo shot over the right field fence.
The Huskies answered right back in the top of the third, putting together a two-out rally to grab the lead. After a wild pitch tied the game, Coby Morales crushed a two-run blast to center, putting UW up 3-1.
Seattle U got those two runs back in the bottom half of the inning, first on a pinch hit home run from Cameron Dayton and then on an RBI single by Boissoneault.
Will Simpson put the Huskies right back ahead in the fourth, narrowly missing a three-run blast and having to settle for a two-run double high off the wall in left-center.
Nick Hovland added a run in the fifth with a no doubt solo bomb to left and Washington tacked on three more in the sixth to create some breathing room. The first came in on a bases loaded walk, before Michael Brown brought home AJ Guerrero with a sac fly. Morales finished scoring for the frame, coming home on a wild pitch to make it 9-3.
Dayton hit his second home run of the day in the ninth to pull SU closer but it was too little, too late as UW improved to 2-0 over its Emerald City neighbors.
QUICK HITS
• AJ Guerrero and Coby Morales each extended their reached base streaks to 19 games, the longest streaks for the Huskies since Nick Kahle reached in 20-straight and Ramon Bramasco reached in 19-straight in 2019.
• Over the last four games, Morales has driven in eight runs.
• Nick Hovland's fifth-inning home run was his first hit of the season and his first big fly in a Husky uniform.
• Entering with one walk drawn in his first seven games, Aiva Arquette drew three free passes Tuesday.
• Calvin Kirchoff's five innings were his most in an appearance this season.
• The Huskies turned three double plays, tied for a season-high. It was the fourth time in 2023 UW has turned three double plays in a game.
