SEATTLE, Wash. -- The Portland Pilots struggled to get the bats going, falling 3-0 to the Washington Huskies up in Seattle. Trey Swygart (0-2) got the ball to start for Portland (5-8) and took the loss.
At the plate, the Pilots were led by freshman Cole Katayama-Stall, who went 3-for-4 on the day. It's a career-high in total hits for the first-year Pilot.
How it Happened
Portland managed three chances with runners on third in the shutout, going a total of 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. The Pilots last got a runner on third in the seventh, when Toglia made it 90 feet away from scoring with one out.
Washington scored two runs in the fifth and added a run in the sixth. That proved to be all that was needed for the victory.
