COUGAR, BULLDOG BASEBALL

Midweek college baseball games – the non-conference variety – are usually high scoring affairs. The top arms are saved for the weekend games, and sometimes the Tuesday or Wednesday game turns into a glorified pitching audition.

If that was the case Tuesday afternoon at Gonzaga’s new field, then the Cougars may have found a star.

Freshman right-hander Connor Lambert pitched into the eighth inning, gave up just six hits and two runs, as WSU ended Gonzaga’s four-game winning streak – including three straight to open Patterson Baseball Complex and Washington Trust Field – with a 13-2 rout in Spokane.
