Washington Throttles No. 9 Oregon 18-2 In Corvallis
March 31, 2026 | Baseball
Washington improves to 13-15 on the season with the win.
The Huskies jumped in front immediately, scoring four runs in the first, punctuated by a Daniel Porras two run homer. It was his sixth bomb of the year and the start of a massive night at the plate for the freshman.
Porras finished his day going 3-4 with two runs batted in and a walk. He was one of two Huskies to close the day with three hits, joined by Colton Bower who went 3-5 with a double and a triple.
Liam Lierman made his first career start and diced up the Beavers, forcing grounders and fly outs along with three strikeouts in his career-high 5.1 innings pitched. In total, the freshman faced 22 batters and forced eight fly outs, four ground outs, and one double play while allowing just three hits and one run.
The Huskies followed up the four spot in the first inning with five more in the third, but the Dawgs weren't done there. After two in the sixth and one in the seventh, Washington plated six runs in the eighth, the most runs the team has scored in a single inning this season.
The Huskies were slugging up and down the lineup, with all but one starter recording at least one hit or RBI.
In addition to Bower's and Porras's three hit nights, Jackson Hotchkiss, Braeden Terry, Mic Paul, and Alex Pearson each added two-hit performances in Corvallis.
Landon Young, who pinch hit for Sam DeCarlo in the eighth inning, launched the second home run of his career to conclude the scoring on the night. He brought home Bower and Terry to make it a three-run shot.
Carson Boesel pitched 2.2 innings in relief, allowing just two hits and a run while striking out three batters. Jaxson Gore closed out the ninth inning by retiring the side in order, including one punchout.
The Huskies return to action on Thursday, beginning a three-game series with Valparaiso. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.
