Washington’s baseball team scored two runs in the first inning and held on to win behind an outstanding effort on the hill from four pitchers in a 2-1 victory over Oregon on Friday at Husky Ballpark.
Both teams fought through a rainy and blustery day, but it was Washington (16-14, 7-3 Pac-12) that was able to endure the longest.
Leadoff hitter Mason Cerrillo accounted for the first run, walking and eventually scoring on a wild pitch by Oregon (18-14, 5-8) ace Matt Mercer. Third baseman Willie MacIver drove home the other run on a two-out single to left field that scored Nick Kahle — who had singled earlier — from second base.
