BASEBALL: Eighth
inning rally pushes WSU past Santa Clara
Cougar
freshmen help team score six runs late for comeback victory
By SAM
GRANT, Evergreen
Feb 24,
2019
WSU
baseball used a six-run eighth inning to complete a comeback victory over Santa
Clara on Sunday. The win means the Cougars split the four-game series with the
Broncos 2-2.
Freshman
infielders Kyle Manzardo and Kodie Kolden helped WSU (2-6) rally when they
trailed 5-4 after seven innings. The Cougars designated hitter and starting
third baseman combined for seven hits and six RBI in the game.
WSU got on
the board first in the top of the second inning when sophomore infielder Garrett
Gouldsmith hit a single to center field to bring Manzardo home and give the
Cougars a 1-0 lead.
Santa
Clara (2-5) responded in the bottom of the inning, scoring a pair of runs to
take a 2-1 lead.
Manzardo
hit a double to left center field in the third inning to bring in junior
outfielder Danny Sinatro and tie the game up.
The
Broncos showcased their offensive talent in the bottom of the third inning by
recording two home runs from junior infielder Jason Dicochea and junior catcher
Jake MacNichols to take a 4-2 lead.
Sophomore
right-handed pitcher Hayden Rosenkrantz started for the Cougars and pitched 4
1/3 innings. He surrendered four runs and six hits and recorded three
strikeouts.
The
Cougars relied on Manzardo again in the top of the fifth inning when he hit a
fly out to right field to bring in Sinatro, reducing the deficit to one run.
The top of
the sixth inning seemed like the time for the Cougars to take the lead over the
Broncos, as they loaded the bases with two outs. However, Manzardo was unable
to capitalize on the opportunity and hit a groundout to end the inning.
Kolden hit
an RBI single in the seventh inning to score sophomore outfielder Collin Montez
and tie the game up at 4-4.
The
Broncos fought back with their third home run of the night from freshman
infielder Blake Faddoul in the bottom of the seventh to retake the lead.
The
Cougars did not back down as Manzardo and senior catcher Rob Teel brought in
three runs with no outs in the eighth inning to give the Cougars a 7-5 lead.
WSU
continued to pour it on as Kolden hit a two-run double and sophomore outfielder
Brody Barnum hit a sacrifice bunt to score Montez. The Cougars had a 10-5 lead.
The
Broncos scored a run in the bottom of the eighth inning, but it was enough as
WSU secured a 10-6 win.
The
Cougars return to Pullman for their home opener against Nevada 4:05 p.m.
Thursday at Bailey-Brayton Field.

WSU adds
Mike Leach-inspired leadership seminar to spring events schedule
Feb 22,
2019 from WSU News
Leach has
led the WSU Cougars to a record four straight bowl games.
PULLMAN,
Wash. – An extracurricular leadership seminar envisioned by Washington State
University Head Football Coach Mike Leach and Spokane County Treasurer Mike
Baumgartner is taking shape.
Entitled
“Leadership Lessons in Insurgent Warfare and Football Strategies”, the
noncredit seminar is being hosted by WSU Academic Outreach and Innovation as
well as WSU Athletics and will include four classroom sessions on the
university’s Pullman campus beginning March 27. It will be available to WSU
Pullman students only but the seminar’s final session will be livestreamed and
open to the public free of charge.
During the
seminar, Leach and Baumgartner will discuss insights on leadership strategy
they have gained through their unique life and career experiences.
After the
first seminar session on March 27, three subsequent classroom sessions will be
held on April 3, 10 and 17. The seminar’s final session will take place April
23 and will be livestreamed online for public viewing. The livestreamed lecture
will summarize the four previous lectures and will culminate in a live
question-and-answer session.
The
seminar’s classroom portion is limited to 40 current WSU students. Interested
students will need to apply through an online process that opens Feb. 26, with
application details scheduled to be made available that day. Applications will
be reviewed on a first‑come, first‑served basis.
No course
fees are being charged for the seminar, though students will be responsible for
obtaining any required class materials. Also, no academic credit will be issued
for participating in the seminar, nor will it be included as part of a
student’s official WSU transcripts.
As part of
the application process, students will be asked to address the following two
essay questions, which will be reviewed by Leach and Baumgartner. There is a
200‑word limit for each of
the essay question responses.
Can the
British strategy in the Malaya insurgency be used today?
Is the
wishbone a potentially viable offense for the NFL? Why or Why not?
The final session’s
livestreamed feed will be broadcast from the Spark and will be open to the
public. All attendees will have the ability to ask Leach and Baumgartner
questions in a text format.
Leach,
hailing from Cody, Wyo., has been WSU’s head football coach since 2011. His
prolific coaching career started in 1987, with nearly a decade of experience as
head coach at Texas Tech before coming to WSU. Known for his bold and
innovative offensive strategies on the gridiron, Leach has received multiple
coaching accolades, including twice being named the Pac‑12 Coach of the Year and
the National Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2018.
A Pullman
native and WSU alumnus, Baumgartner previously served eight years as a
Washington State senator. He also served as a U.S. State Department officer in
Iraq and an embedded counter‑narcotics advisor in Afghanistan. Baumgartner has traveled
to over 80 countries and has frequently lectured on counterinsurgency tactics.
He is the recipient of numerous honors, including the Washington Policy
Center’s Champion of Freedom Award.
