Huskies Drop Tuesday Matchup With Gonzaga 8-5
April 07, 2026 | Baseball
SEATTLE – Colton Bower belted his eighth home run of the season, but Washington ultimately came up short against Gonzaga, falling 8-5 at Husky Ballpark.
The Huskies move to 15-18 on the season.
Washington hosted Gonzaga for a 12 p.m. first pitch on Tuesday and invited local elementary school classes out to the ballpark. Four different schools were represented and made up for a fun and enthusiastic environment for the midweek matchup.
The Huskies started hot, plating two runs in the first and two runs in the second. Mic Paul kicked off the scoring in the opening frame, driving in two runs with a double down the left line.
Colton Bower kept the momentum moving for the Huskies in the second inning, drilling a home run to deep left field to put Washington up 4-1. His towering shot went 379 feet and was launched 103 miles per hour off the bat.
Jackson Thomas held the Bulldogs at bay through four innings, ultimately conceding two runs throughout his outing. The senior finished with 4.0 innings pitched, six hits, two runs, two walks, and two strikeouts.
Carson Boesel took over for the fifth and sixth, but the Bulldogs were able to tie the game up.
In the seventh inning, Blake Wilson worked a bases-loaded walk to put the Huskies in the lead again at 5-4, but Gonzaga would plate four runs off Bryce Johnson in the eighth to take the win.
Jackson Hotchkiss led the Husky hitters, going 2-4 at the plate with one double, a run scored, and one walk. Sam DeCarlo and Mic Paul also had doubles on the day, while Colton Bower's home run was the third extra-base hit for the Huskies.
Washington is back in Big Ten action starting on Friday at Minnesota. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. PT.
