Washington Drops Season Opener To Long Beach State
February 16, 2024 | Baseball
Â
Jeter Ybarra put together a 3-for-4 night at the plate to pace the Dawgs offensively, coming a triple shy of the cycle and crossing the plate three times.
Â
Jared Engman received the loss, surrendering five earned runs over 3.1 innings. Grant Cunningham gave 3.1 innings of relief, allowing a pair of runs on two hits with three strikeouts.
Â
Washington got off on the right foot, drawing three consecutive walks in the opening frame before Mike Brown dropped a two-run single into left-center.
Â
Long Beach responded in the home half, capitalizing on a throwing error to scratch three across and take the lead at 3-0.
Â
The Dawgs tied things up in the third as Carson Ohland drew a walk with nowhere to put him, deadlocking the score at three runs apiece. However, LBSU struck back for a run in the bottom half to regain the advantage.
Â
The Dirtbags added a run in the fourth, ending Engman's night, but Cunningham escaped a bases-loaded jam to keep things tight.
Â
The Huskies hung in until the seventh, when LBSU brought home five runs to extend its lead to 10-3.
Â
A Cam Clayton RBI groundout got a run back in the eighth and Ybarra launched a solo homer to dead center in the ninth but it wasn't enough as the Dirtbags took the season opener.
Â
UW will return to Blair Field Saturday night looking to even the series. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. PT. The game will not be streamed, but links to live stats are available at GoHuskies.com.
