Huskies Drops Series Finale At Northwestern
April 27, 2025 | Baseball
The Diamond Dawgs move to 24-21 and 13-8 in Big Ten play while Northwestern improves to XX and XX in the conference.
Washington's bats weren't as hot as the previous two days, scoring four runs after bagging 19 and 14 in the earlier contests. Over the weekend, Washington outscored the Wildcats 37-18.
AJ Guerrero has stayed hot, however. The senior ripped his fourth home of the last four games, giving him eight on the season.
It was also the 41st of his career, moving him into a tie for third all-time in Husky history. He needs only one more to tie the program record of 42, which is shared by Kyle Conley (2006-09) and Ed Erickson (1997-00).
Guerrero also drove in two other runs, making him responsible for three of Washington's four on the day.
The Huskies recorded eight hits on the day, with both AJ Guerrero and Braeden Terry recording multiple knocks. Casen Taggart and Terry each extended their reached base streaks to 19.
Justin Tims earned the start for the Huskies, pitching the opening 2.2 innings, allowing four hits and four runs with a walk and a strikeout. Josh Emanuels also pitched 2.2 innings, giving up one run on two hits while fanning three batters.
Isaac Yeager and Gunnar Nichols closed out the remainder of the game, with Yeager tossing one inning and Nichols 1.2 innings.
The Huskies return to action on Monday against UIC for the final game of the four-game road trip.
