PULLMAN, Wash. (March 30, 2019) – Playing at home for just the fourth time on the year, Washington State suffered from a handful of self-induced mistakes that allowed No. 3 Stanford to pull away for a 7-1 win Friday night at Bailey-Brayton Field.
A first inning error cost the Cougars (6-18, 0-4 Pac-12) a pair of unearned runs, putting WSU in a hole early it would not be able to climb out of despite outhitting the Cardinal, 10-9, in the contest. The Cougs would have their chances throughout the night, led by Andres Alvarez, who went 3-for-4 while driving in the lone run for the home team in the contest.
