LOS ANGELES – Washington State dropped its series-opener 4-0 to USC at Dedeaux Field Friday evening.
The Cougars received solid pitching performances from starter (3 IP, 2 ER, 2 K) and reliever who matched career highs with 3.1 innings and three strikeouts while not allowing a run.
WSU brought the tying run to the plate after leadoff doubles in the third and seventh innings but USC starting pitcher Conner Lunn kept the Cougars off the board all night in his complete game effort. The Trojans collected 11 hits but just one went for extra bases, a double.
