NW Briefs | Aaron Russell's grand slam lifts UW baseball

Russell, a junior from Interlake High School, notched his first two homers of the season in the University of Washington baseball win and finished the day with six RBI.

Third baseman Aaron Russell hit two line-drive home runs, including a grand slam in the seventh inning that gave the Huskies their first lead of the day, and the Washington baseball team came back from a 5-0 deficit to beat UC Irvine, 13-12, Wednesday at Husky Ballpark.

Russell, a junior from Interlake High School, notched his first two homers of the season in the win and finished the day with six RBI.

Huskies right fielder Kyle Conley hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs.

Freshman reliever Seth Haehl (1-0) picked up the victory.

The Huskies (9-12) open Pac-10 play with a three-game series at Stanford this weekend.

Cougars open spring practice

The Washington State University football team holds its first spring practice this afternoon in Pullman. Coach Paul Wulff enters his second season on the Cougars sideline.

Quarterbacks Kevin Lopina, J.T. Levenseller and Dan Wagner are cleared for practice but Marshall Lobbestael will only take part in individual drills and some 7-on-7 sessions. Lobbestael had knee surgery last year.

Wulff said the team will work on more use of the no-huddle offense.

The Cougars will hold three Saturday scrimmages in April.
