Washington Opens Regional Play with 9-5 Win Over DBU
June 02, 2023 | Baseball
STILLWATER, Okla. β Behind a seven-run fifth inning, Washington (35-18) opened its NCAA Tournament run in victorious fashion, defeating Dallas Baptist (45-15) 9-5 on the opening day of the NCAA Stillwater Regional at O'Brate Stadium.
Β
Sam Boyle picked up the win in relief, allowing one run over 3.1 frames, striking out four. Starter Stu Flesland III took a no decision, allowing four over 4.2 innings.
Β
While the Husky offense was settling into the early innings, Flesland was working around trouble to keep the game scoreless. The big lefty left two runners on with back-to-back strikeouts in the first and used back-to-back punchouts in the third to strand the bases loaded in the third.
Β
With nine straight batters retired by DBU's Ryan Johnson, Will Simpson broke things up in the fourth with a sharp single to left. Coby Morales followed up by shooting a double down the left field line giving the Huskies a brief lead at 1-0.
Β
The Patriots punched back in the bottom half as a Nate Rombach double and George Specht single knotted things up at a run apiece at inning's close.
Β
It didn't take the Huskies long to strike back. Jeter Ybarra worked an eight-pitch walk to leadoff the fifth before Michael Snyder tattooed a 2-2 offering, sending the ball completely out of the ballpark for a two-run shot, reclaiming the lead for UW.
Β
A trio of singles by Sam DeCarlo, Cam Clayton and Simpson got another run in for the Dawgs, with Coby Morales' grounder scratching across another run.
Β
Johnny Tincher put on the final touches, clobbering a three-run blast past the left field wall. By the time the inning finished, the Huskies had batted around and put seven runs on the board to take control at 8-1.
Β
The DBU bats started to heat up as well, with the Patriots plating three in their half of the fifth to draw closer at 8-4. However, Boyle came out of the bullpen with two men on and produced a popup to limit the damage.
Β
A Specht RBI single in the seventh cut the Husky lead to three but once again, Snyder stepped up, hitting the gap in left-center to plate Ybarra all the way from first and restore the four-run lead.
Β
After a double play cut down a Patriot threat in the eighth, Josh Emanuels entered in the ninth and quick set down DBU in 1-2-3 fashion to lock down the victory and send the Dawgs into the winner's bracket.
Β
QUICK HITS
β’ Sam Boyle improved to 5-0 on the season, with four of those wins coming in relief.
β’ Boyle's 3.1 innings were his longest outing since pitching 4.0 in a start at Portland on March 7.
β’ Michael Snyder drove in three of the Huskies' nine runs. The redshirt junior has produced 16 RBIs in UW's last 10 games, second most on the team.
β’ Snyder has driven in multiple runs in six of Washington's last nine games.
β’ Five of Snyder's 11 home runs on the season have come since the start of May.
β’ Finishing the day 3-for-5 at the plate, Will Simpson extended his hitting streak to 17 games. It is the longest hitting streak by a Husky since Andrew Ely hit safely in 19 consecutive games in 2014.
β’ Coby Morales extended his reached base streak to 33 games.
β’ The eight earned runs Washington produced on DBU ace Ryan Johnson were a season high for the sophomore.
