Washington baseball outslugs ASU in series finale

Washington baseball turned back an Arizona State comeback attempt with three runs in the sixth inning Sunday to win the series finale 13-6 in Seattle.

ASU trailed 4-0 and 7-2 through five innings then scored four runs in the top of the sixth on home runs by Jack Moss, his third in four games, and Kai Murphy, a three-run shot.

Washington answered with three RBI extra-base hits in their half of the sixth then added on runs in the seventh and eighth.

Drew Swift also homered for ASU. Second baseman Sean McLain, with a 23-game hitting streak, did not play for a second consecutive game due to injury but is expected back by next weekend.

Joe Hauser (0-1), the first of seven ASU pitchers, took the loss.
