Diamond Dawgs Swept At Cal
May 18, 2024 | Baseball
BERKELEY, Calif. βΒ For the second day in a row, Washington was walked off at Stu Gordon Stadium as Cal completed a series sweep with a 4-3 win in 10 innngs.
Β
On a pitch count, UW starter Calvin Kirchoff gave the Dawgs three scoreless innings. Sawyer Parkin received the loss, allowing one run over 2.1 frames.
Β
Kirchoff evaded an early deficit in the third as Cal put runners at the corners with no outs before the senior worked out of danger to keep the game scoreless.
Β
That scoreless tie lasted until the seventh, when Cam Clayton cranked a leadoff bomb to left-center, giving the Dawgs a 1-0 lead.
Β
However, Cal responded with a leadoff home run of its own in the bottom half. The Bears went on to take the lead on a bases loaded walk before Gianluca Shinn induced a pop up and grounder to keep the deficit at a single run.
Β
Cal added a run of insurance in the eighth but Clayton kept the Huskies alive with his second big fly of the day, crushing a two-run shot to left-center to buy UW bonus baseball.
Β
But the Golden Bears would have the final say, winning the game on an RBI single in the 10th.
Β
Washington and Cal will square off once again in both team's Pac-12 Tournament opener on Tuesday in Scottsdale, Arizona. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. PT.

DAWG BITES
β’ The Huskies have lost five straight matchups to Cal
β’ Washington is now 1-4-1 in extra innings in 2024
β’ Cam Clayton's two-homer day gave him three big flies in the last two games, seven for the season
β’ It's the second multi-homer game of Clayton's career, also leaving the yard twice against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi earlier this season
β’ It was also the second-consecutive three-hit game for Clayton, who went 6-for-9 with five RBIs over the final two games of the series
