7-Run Innings Carries Huskies To Game 3 Win Over Stanford
March 10, 2024 | Baseball
SEATTLE βΒ Washington erased an early deficit with a seven-run third inning and never looked back, taking game three of its series with Stanford, 9-2, at Husky Ballpark Sunday afternoon.
Β
Spencer Dessart earned the win for the Dawgs, holding the Cardinal to two runs on six hits over 4.2 innings, striking out five along the way. Isaac Yeager 3.1 scoreless innings of shutout ball, while Colton McIntosh made his season debut to close things out in the ninth.
Β
A solo home run in the first gave Stanford an early lead but with steady rain coming down on the Chaffey Field turf, the Huskies would soon put a damper on the Cardinal spirits.
Β
Blake Wilson led off the third with a double to the opposite field, scoring on an Aiva Arquette grounder to even the score. Three pitches later, Jeter Ybarra roped a two-run double just inside the left field line, giving UW its first lead of the series at 3-1.
Β
AJ Guerrero followed with a double of his own to bring home Ybarra and scored shortly thereafter on Michael Brown's single up the middle.
Β
Cooper Whitton drew a bases-loaded walk and Wilson brought home Carson Ohland with a ground ball as the Huskies batted around in the frame and led 7-1 heading into the fourth.
Β
Stanford drew a run closer in the fifth but a two-run double in the eighth by Brown pushed the lead back out to 9-2, where it would finish.
Β
Fresh off six-straight home games, the Huskies will hit the road for their next six, beginning with a three-game series at No. 24 Texas, set for March 15-17 at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. All three games will air on the Longhorn Network.

DAWG BITES
β’ Washington's seven third inning runs were its most since also scoring seven in the first inning of the 2023 NCAA Stillwater Regional game against Oral Roberts
β’ Of the Huskies 10 hits on the day, four went for doubles
β’ One of those doubles came off the bat of Jeter Ybarra, who has already matched his 2023 output of eight extra base knocks
β’ Michael Brown matched his career-high with three RBIs, set during the 2022 season against Northern Colorado (5/19)
β’ Recovering from Tommy John surgery, Colton McIntosh made his first appearance on the mound since March 5, 2022
β’ Making five total appearances in a Husky jersey, McIntosh has yet to allow a run
β’ Sunday's game was just the third time all season the Huskies have failed to turn a double play
