“We just hit all day,” WSU coach Kyle Poock said.
“It was good that we were able to play all our guys and get a lot of guys at-bats.”
In the first game, the Warriors (19-12, 14-8) were led by Joe Kley who went 4-for-4 with three doubles. Justin Kunferman was the winning pitcher for the Warriors.
In the second game, Andrew Kes pulled off a rare feat by hitting two home runs in the third inning. Andrew DeSousa picked up the win for WSU on the mound.
“I think one of the reasons we are hitting better is because the weather is getting warmer,” Poock said. “Hitting is contagious.”
