(Interstat) — SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga Bulldogs, owners of a 33-17 record, aim to continue their dominant stretch when they host the Seattle Redhawks at Washington Trust Field and Patterson Baseball Complex on Saturday afternoon. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m., with a forecast of 52 degrees and rain.

Gonzaga (33-17) has won four of its last five games, including a 12-2 rout of Seattle on Thursday. The Bulldogs’ pitching staff has been formidable, led by right-hander Justin Feld. Over his past two starts, Feld has allowed two earned runs in 12 innings while striking out 14. He threw six innings of four-hit ball against Seattle on Thursday, fanning eight.

Seattle (16-29) is trying to snap a recent skid. The Redhawks have lost four of their last five, including a 2-12 defeat to Gonzaga on Thursday. However, first baseman Payton Knowles has been a bright spot. In that game, Knowles went 3-for-3 with a home run and an RBI. Over his last 10 contests, Knowles is batting .366 with two homers and four RBIs.

The teams also played Friday, but no official result was recorded. The Redhawks have struggled on the road, dropping 14 of their last 16 away games.

Gonzaga’s offense has been potent. Catcher Jacob Wrubleski homered and drove in two runs in Thursday’s win, while second baseman Hudson Shupe added two RBIs. The Bulldogs have averaged 9.3 runs over their last three victories.

Seattle will send a pitcher to the mound still to be determined. The Redhawks’ bullpen has been taxed, with Luke Alwood and Jake Morell combining for two innings of three-run relief in Thursday’s loss.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 7-4 Gonzaga victory. Saturday’s game is the second of a three-game series. The Redhawks will need strong production from Knowles and a better start on the mound to keep pace with a Bulldogs team that has outscored opponents 42-15 in its last four wins.

Weather could be a factor, as rain is expected throughout the afternoon. Both teams will need to adjust to wet conditions in what could be a low-scoring affair if the forecast holds.
