Bulldogs unload on Huskies in 15-3 win
Gonzaga scored multiple runs in each of the first five innings and rolled to a 15-3 non-league win over Washington at Patterson Baseball Complex on Monday night.
Jason Chatwood had three hits and four RBIs to lead the Zags’ 18-hit assault as both teams emptied their benches. Huskies designated hitter Ty Rasmussen went 3 for 4.
Kyle Conley gave the Huskies (23-11) the lead with his ninth home run, a two-run shot in the first, but after that it was all GU.
Mark Castellitto, who had a sacrifice fly in GU’s two-run first inning to get the Zags (19-16) even, clubbed his fifth home run good for two runs to highlight a five-run fourth for the Bulldogs.
•Gonzaga freshman Cody Marshall, who allowed no runs on two hits with four strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings in collecting two saves, is a co-pitcher of the week in the West Coast Conference.
Marshall, who shared the award with AJ Griffin of San Diego, has seven saves, tying the GU single-season record.

Washington State starting offensive lineman Andrew Roxas was arrested early Sunday for an alcohol-related driving offense on Pullman’s College Hill.
He has been suspended indefinitely from team activities until the coaching staff takes appropriate action, spokesman Joe Nickell said. However, it was unclear what form punishment may take, since spring practice ended Saturday and there are no official team activities until August.
Roxas, 19, was cited for a “baby DUI,” said Pullman police Cmdr. Chris Tennant, after being pulled over for minor traffic infractions.
The misdemeanor is given to minors found to be driving with a blood-alcohol content between .02 and .08. The legal limit for people older than 21 is .08.

LaPlante had a shutout in the first game, Parry hit a three-run homer and Fowler had a run-scoring single.
