Nick Haughian struck out 11 in a complete-game victory, and Kyle Conley hit a pair of two-run homers as the Washington baseball team defeated Washington State 5-1 Sunday at Husky Ballpark.
The victory gave the Huskies (31-17, 10-8 Pac-10) a 2-1 win in the Apple Cup series and, coupled with a California loss to Stanford, put them back in third place in the conference.
Haughian (6-4) held the Cougars (27-22, 6-12) to one run on just four hits. He now has 99 strikeouts this year, one short of becoming just the fourth Huskies pitcher in history to record 100 strikeouts in a season.
Conley hit two-run homers in the first and third innings. He also singled and was walked intentionally to finish 3 for 3 with four runs batted in. Conley's two homers were his 15th and 16th of the season and his 11th and 12th in Washington's last 19 games.
