Washington State brought the tying run to the plate in the 9th inning with two out, but they fell short Tuesday night at Gonzaga, 8-5.
The Cougs made the trip north to renew their regional rivalry. Zane Mills got the start for WSU, and after a 1-2-3 first, the Zags struck in the 2nd. GU put up 3 hits, to go along with a walk, a fielder’s choice and a wild pitch, that resulted in a trio of runs, letting the Bulldogs take a 3-0 lead. That would be the last inning for Mills who went 2 frames and picked up the loss.
