It was the rubber game of the season series for Gonzaga and Washington State. The Cougs took game one at home back on April 3. The Zags returned the favor in Spokane on April 17. Tuesday was the final non-conference meeting of the year for the rivals -- But neither team wanted the series to end.
Washington State got on the board first with a James Rudkin home run in the 4th. Cal Waterman followed that up with a sac-fly to cap off the 2 run frame. The Cougs took the 2-0 lead.
And they would have that lead until the 8th inning.
