Hot Cougar Action: WSU loses another to Oregon

WSU is playing its final Pullman series of the season and it is not going well. After a 9th inning error cost the Cougars the game on Friday, more late-inning struggles led to another WSU loss on Saturday.

The loss dropped WSU to 20-22 on the season and 7-13 in Pac-12 play, not the season some were hoping for. The Cougars will close out their Pullman home schedule (WSU hosts Washington in Pasco later this month) with a final game against Oregon on Sunday.

The Cougars have been close against the No. 6 team in the country, but as has been the case this season, they are just not quite there.
