Washington’s baseball team scored three runs in the seventh inning to complete a rally from a 6-1 deficit and beat UCLA 8-7 Saturday at Husky Ballpark and tie the three-game series at a game apiece.

KJ Brady walked with the bases loaded — the third bases-loaded free pass issued by losing pitcher Tucker Forbes in the inning — to force in the go-ahead run.

Washington (18-12, 8-6 Pac-12) had four relief pitchers combine to yield just one run over the final 61/3  innings, allowing the Huskies to chip away at the Bruins (15-17, 6-8), who had leads of 6-1 and 7-4.

Joey Morgan hit a three-run homer in the third inning for UW.

Julia DePonte’s single in the fourth inning and relentless defense lifted No. 9 Washington (28-8, 9-5 Pac-12) to its seventh consecutive victory, 2-1 over California (20-17-1, 5-5-1) in front of a sellout crowd at Husky Softball Stadium.

Washington starter Taran Alvelo came away victorious, throwing 61/3 innings, allowing six hits while striking out seven.

DePonte went 3 for 3 with a run batted in. Trysten Melhart went 2 for 4 with a run scored, while Kimberlee Souza had a hit and an RBI.

Washington State held its second scrimmage of the spring, accounting for nearly 100 plays at Martin Stadium. The Cougars offense scored 10 touchdowns, six through the air and four on the ground, while the defense had six sacks, two interceptions and seven pass breakups while forcing one fumble.

Baseball

Left-hander Scotty Sunitsch pitched 42/3 scoreless innings of relief and the Washington State offense came alive to clinch the series with an 8-3 victory against No. 10 Oregon State at Bailey-Brayton Field.

Trek Stemp had four hits, drove in two runs and scored twice to lead the Cougars (12-20, 5-10 Pac-12) to their first series win over the Beavers (23-9, 6-6) since 2010 and first series win over a top-10 team since 2012 at No. 6 Oregon.
