SEATTLE (Interstat) — Hayden Lewis pitched eight strong innings and Washington erupted for seven runs in the sixth to beat Oregon 9-5 on Sunday afternoon at Husky Ballpark, snapping a two-game losing streak in the Big 10 series.

The Huskies improved to 20-26 overall; the Ducks fell to 35-12.

Lewis scattered seven hits and allowed two earned runs while striking out eight in a 119-pitch outing, his second consecutive quality start. The right-hander retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced after Oregon cut the lead to 5-2 in the sixth.

Washington shortstop Sam DeCarlo went 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs, scoring three times. Third baseman Blake Wilson homered and drove in three runs. Left fielder Jackson Hotchkiss added a homer among his two hits.

Oregon took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Gage Miranda’s sacrifice fly, but the bottom of the sixth proved decisive.

Washington’s seven-run frame began with Travis Terry’s RBI single that tied the game. After an error extended the inning, Charlie Dougherty and Luke Taggart delivered back‑to‑back sacrifice flies. Hotchkiss then homered to left. DeCarlo singled and Pat Paul walked before Wilson hammered a three-run homer to right, making it 9-1.

Oregon starter Miles Gosztola allowed two runs on no hits over 4 2/3 innings with four strikeouts but was relieved after walking two in the fifth. The Ducks used six pitchers total.

Oregon rallied in the eighth. Brayden Jaksa singled in a run and a throwing error by Lewis on Thomas Smith’s single allowed two more runs to cut the lead to 9-4. Jaksa added an RBI single in the ninth, but Washington reliever Josh Johnson struck out Gage Miranda and induced a groundout to end the game.

Jaksa finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs for Oregon.

The most important part of the game came in the bottom of the sixth when Washington sent 11 batters to the plate and turned a one‑run lead into an eight-run cushion. The barrage included three hits, two sacrifice flies, two walks and two pitching changes by Oregon. After the inning, the Huskies never trailed.

Washington had lost the first two games of the series, 10-4 on Saturday and 6-4 on Friday.

The Interstat game simulator had projected Oregon to win 8-4, and Interstat’s ELO system gave the Ducks a 71.20 percent probability of victory.
