Catcher Joey Morgan hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie and send Washington to a 6-3 win over Arizona in the Pac-12 opener for both teams Friday night at Husky Ballpark.
With two outs in the seventh, Morgan took the first pitch he saw from Arizona reliever Cameron Ming over the left-field fence for his first home run of the season. Jack Meggs, who reached on a one-out single, and MJ Hubbs, who walked, scored ahead of Morgan.
Morgan’s shot made a winner of Husky pitcher Noah Bremer (3-0), who entered the night with the lowest earned-run average among Pac-12 starters.
