EVANSTON, Ill. – University of Washington Baseball (24-21) fell in the third and final game against Northwestern (19-22) Sunday, 10-4, according to a statement made by UW Athletic Communications.  


Despite the loss, the Huskies took two of three against the Wildcats for their fifth Big Ten conference series win of the season. 


Washington's bats weren't as hot as the previous two days, scoring four runs after bagging 19 and 14 in the earlier contests. Over the weekend, Washington outscored the Wildcats 37-18. 


AJ Guerrero has stayed hot, however. The senior ripped his fourth homer out of the last four games, giving him eight on the season. 


It was also the 41st of his career, moving him into a tie for third all-time in Husky history. He needs only one more to tie the program record of 42, which is shared by Kyle Conley (2006-09) and Ed Erickson (1997-00). 


Guerrero also drove in two other runs, making him responsible for three of Washington's four on the day. 


The Huskies recorded eight hits on the day, with both AJ Guerrero and Braeden Terry recording multiple knocks. Casen Taggart and Terry each extended their reached base streaks to 19. 


Justin Tims earned the start for the Huskies, pitching the opening 2.2 innings, allowing four hits and four runs with a walk and a strikeout. Josh Emanuels also pitched 2.2 innings, giving up one run on two hits while fanning three batters. 


Isaac Yeager and Gunnar Nichols closed out the remainder of the game, with Yeager tossing one inning and Nichols 1.2 innings.  


The Huskies went on to earn a 15-8 victory against the University of Illionois Chicago Monday evening.
