After being swept by one Arizona team, WSU got off to a better start against the other Arizona team. The Cougs scored twice in the fifth inning and twice in the seventh, and the bullpen held the Arizona Wildcats scoreless as WSU reached the 20-win mark with a 6-3 victory at home Friday night.
Trailing 3-2 in the fifth, the Cougs did things the old school way. Sam Brown drew a walk with the bases loaded to bring home Elijah Hainline and tie the game. Then Kyle Russell hit into a fielder’s choice that scored a run to give WSU a 4-3 lead.
