Cameron Frost helps lead WSU to 11-1 nonconference baseball win over New Mexico State

Sophomore outfielder Cameron Frost had a three-run home run to highlight a five-run fourth inning that propelled Washington State to an 11-1 nonconference baseball win over New Mexico State on Monday night at Bailey-Brayton Field in Pullman.

Frost, who was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and four RBIs, received offensive support from Derek Chapman, who was 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI and Jack Strunk, who was 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI. It was Frost’s second home run.

That was more than enough support for a half-dozen WSU (19-17) pitchers who blanked the Aggies (4-29-1) on one hit after Quinnton Mack greeted Cougars starter Scotty Sunitsch with Mack’s third home run leading off the first-inning. Sunitsch pitched 3 2/3 innings, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out four.
