Seymour, Spartans Secure Series Win With 13-8 Victory Over Huskies Saturday
4/19/2026 2:50:00 AM | Baseball
Senior infielder smacks two HR as MSU becomes first visiting B1G team to win series at Washington in UW’s two years in league.
Just like Friday night in the 6-4 Victory for MSU in Michigan State's first-ever game played in the state of Washington, the Spartans jumped out to an early lead. However, different from Friday, MSU added to its lead and won going away, knocking 15 hits on Saturday boosted by two home runs by senior infielder Randy Seymour in his first two at bats of the game.
The Spartans erupted onto the scoreboard with a two-run home run by Seymour in the top of the first frame for an early 2-0.
It's a baker's dozen HR for Seymour!!!

UW closed to 6-4 in the second stanza, but the two-run margin only last a half inning as the Spartans extended their lead back to a four-run advantage with four runs in the third on a pair of RBI hits by senior outfielder Nick Williams and Bright to move to a 10-4 lead.
Washington got a run back in the bottom of the third to pull within, 10-5, but MSU added a run in the fourth on a Williams RBI single, and two more in the fifth on a two-run homer by sophomore designated hitter Khamaree Thomas to extend the lead to 13-5. The Huskies got a run in the home half of the seventh and two more in the ninth for the final 13-8 score.
With the Victory for MSU on Saturday, the Spartans not only became the first visiting team to win a series at Washington, but they won their first B1G road series and only their second conference series win on the season.
Michigan State has won three of its last four games in moving to 14-22 overall on the season and 8-12 in B1G action. Washington has lost its last four games in sliding to 16-22 overall and 7-10 in conference competition.
Sophomore starting pitcher Aidan Donovan went 6.2 IP, scattering 10 hits and six runs, while chalking up three strikeouts and yielding one walk, in firing 117 pitches (73 strikes), to earn the win, moving to 3-2 on the season.
