Huskies Tie Season-High 22 Runs, Pitch Fourth Shutout
April 15, 2025 | Baseball
SEATTLE โ The Huskies offense exploded on Tuesday in a 22-0 rout of Seattle U at Husky Ballpark. With three home runs, including a grand slam, Washington tied its season-high of 22 runs and recorded its fourth shutout.
The Huskies' 22 runs are the most they've scored in a shutout since 1998, when Washington defeated Puget Sound 23-0 on April 22. The Diamond Dawgs last eclipsed the 20 runs mark in a shutout in 2022, taking down Northern Colorado 20-0 in seven innings on May 19.
ย
The Diamond Dawgs improve to 19-19 on the season while Seattle U falls to 13-23.
ย
While the Husky offense was utterly dominant, the pitching was efficient and effective all game long as well. Most notably, Tommy Brandenburg had his best overall start, throwing 5.0 scoreless innings against three hits, three walks, and two strikeouts.
ย
At the plate, the Huskies wasted no time, opening the game with five runs in the bottom of the first, thanks to three consecutive doubles with runners on. It would be the second-most productive inning for Washington, trailing only its seven-run seventh.
ย
In the bottom of the second, Washington added three more thanks to its first home run of the night. Malakhi Knight blasted his fourth home run of the year to give the Huskies an 8-0 advantage.
ย
The Huskies added one in the fourth, two in the fifth, and another one in the sixth. One run in the fifth came from Carson Crawford, his first homer of the season.
ย
In the seventh, the Huskies plated a pair of runs before Julian Sanders teed up his second long ball of the year and the second Husky grand slam of the season.
ย
Reeve Boyd made his Washington debut in the game and contributed immediately, adding two more runs in the seventh with a two-RBI double.
ย
The Huskies tacked on three more in the eighth to finish the scoring. In all, Washington had 22 runs on 21 hits.
ย
Over the course of the game, Washington batted .500 (21-42), including .615 in advancement opportunities (24-39) and .625 while leading off (5-8).
ย
Six Huskies recorded multi-hit games and six recorded multi-RBI games. Jackson Hotchkiss led all batters with four hits (4-5, 1 RBI, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K) while Julian Sanders (2-4, 4 RBI, 1 2B, 1 HR) and Malakhi Knight (1-3, 4 RBI, 1 HR) led the team in RBIs.
ย
Washington used one pitcher per inning for the remaining frames following Brandenburg's start, using Peysen Sweeney, in the sixth, Micah Bujacich in the seventh, Charlie Denomme in the eighth, and Bradley Gilbert in the ninth.
ย
Sweeney and Bujacich each allowed one hit while Denomme and Gilbert pitched hitless innings. Bujacich, Denomme, and Gilbert tallied three strikeouts each, with Gilbert using only 13 pitches to strike out the three batters he faced.
ย
The Huskies return to Big Ten play on Friday, opening a three-game set against Illinois at Husky Ballpark at 7:00 p.m.
