San Diego starter Sean Warlop pitched well spanning five complete innings, but was the pitcher of record for a USD team that dropped the first game of a scheduled doubleheader with 19th-ranked Washington by a score of 4-1 Monday afternoon at Olsen Field. Washington generated two runs in the second inning and added two more on a homerun by All-America candidate Brent Lillibridge in the sixth. San Diego's offense totaled just three hits.

Cranmer then allowed the two-run homer to Lillibridge. San Diego failed to rally in their half of the seventh, giving a Huskie team that beat Texas A&M 1-0 Sunday night its second straight victory.
