The only run he allowed came on a solo homer by Tyler Davidson with two outs in the ninth. Davidson had all three UW hits while Nick Lyon and Wes Whisler each homered for UCLA. In game two, a one-out RBI single from Mike Wagner in the ninth broke a 4-4 tie. An Adam Berry homer in the top of the ninth had tied it for the Bruins. In the third game, a seven-run fifth was all the Huskies needed in a 9-5 win. The UW got threerun homers from Jay Garthwaite and Greg Isaacson in that inning and Clay Johnson threw a complete game for the win, allowing four earned runs on 11 hits while fanning eight Bruins. Josh Arhart and Brandon Averill hit home runs for UCLA and starter Doug Silva suffered the loss in a four-plus-inning outing.
