Washington State pitcher starts 2 games in 1 day

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Washington State pitcher James Wise started both of his team’s games Sunday at the Fayetteville Regional.

Wise was knocked out after 2 2-3 innings in the Cougars’ 9-6 win over Kansas State. He’d thrown only 76 pitches, so Washington State sent him to the mound again against Arkansas.

He threw three innings in that game, allowing two hits and a run with two walks and three strikeouts.

Pitching on no rest is fairly common in a double-elimination regional such as this one. On Saturday night, Adam Conley started for Washington State after earning a save the previous night.
