College baseball
Emergency starter Matt Sundby pitched four innings of the second game as the University of Washingon rolled to 14-10 and 11-3 victories over Washington State on Saturday in Pacific-10 Conference North play at Seattle.
Sundby, who relieved for 2-1/3 innings in the opener, was pressed into duty when scheduled starter Matt Hampton twisted a knee while warming up.
First-place Washington (34-17-1, 15-4) leads Oregon State by two games. WSU (13-37, 7-12) lost its fourth straight and set a school record for defeats in a season.
Bryan Williamson had six hits and five RBIs, and Nick Stefonick four hits and four RBIs for the Huskies. Shawn Stevenson had five runs and two RBIs, and Steve Curran four hits and two RBIs for the Cougars.
The teams conclude their weekend series with a single game today.
