PEORIA, Ariz. – Washington State sophomore righthander Zane Mills struck out 10 and the Cougars claimed the series-opener 9-2 with Rutgers at the Peoria Sports Complex Friday afternoon.
Mills improved to 3-0 after setting a career-high in strikeouts and allowed two unearned runs on five hits in 7.2 innings. WSU scored nine unanswered runs and received two-hit games from Kyle Manzardo, Justin Van De Brake and Collin Montez while Van De Brake and Kodie Kolden each drove in a pair of runs. Rutgers dropped to 4-4 after committing four errors.
In the second, Rutgers took advantage of a Cougar error and a wild pitch to push a pair of runs across on an RBI-single and RBI-groundout.
