SEATTLE - The Washington baseball team continues a busy stretch of games this week when Gonzaga comes to Husky Ballpark for a two-game series Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Huskies (10-14 overall and 1-2 in Pac-10 play) will host Gonzaga (17-7 overall, 2-1 in the West Coast Conference) Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. and Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. Tuesday's contest will air live on radio on KKNW AM-1150. You can also listen to that live broadcast over the internet or, if you're a baseball season subscriber on the Dawg Channel, watch video. Wednesday's game will be a video broadcast at gohuskies.com (no live radio).
Tuesday night, Husky senior righty Jorden Merry (1-0, 3.96 ERA) [NOTE: Merry is a change from the originally scheduled starter] will square off against Zags sophomore lefty Reedy Berg (0-2, 6.28). Neither team has announced a starter for Wednesday's game.
