WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The first of Purdue Baseball's three weekend road trips in April doubles as the longest trek of the season as the Boilermakers make their first-ever visit to the Pacific Northwest for a Big Ten series at Washington.
First pitch at Husky Ballpark in Seattle is set for 10 p.m. ET on Friday and Saturday. Sunday's game is slated for 2:30 p.m. ET. Purdue is playing out on the West Coast for the first time since going 5-3 in California on the 2017 spring break trip.
The Boilermakers play Washington, Rutgers, Penn State and Illinois for Big Ten series in April. Only the Rutgers series (April 11-13) is at home. Purdue swept series at Rutgers and Northwestern last year and already has a series win at Minnesota this season. And after losing five of six vs. Michigan and UCLA at home over the last two weekends, the Boilers will need to play well on the road this month or risk being on the outside looking in at the Big Ten Tournament chase (top 12 qualify) going into the month of May.
Along with batting over .400 for the season, Lukas Cook and Logan Sutter enter the weekend leading the Big Ten in a pair of offensive categories. Cook is first in batting average (.465) and hits (46) while Sutter is tops in the conference in doubles (13) and OPS (1.330). Cook is also fourth nationally in average as of April 2.
Led by first-year head coach Eddie Smith, Washington has compiled a 10-9 record since opening the season 3-8. The lone blip during that stretch was a three-game sweep in Seattle at the hands of Gonzaga the weekend of March 14-16. The Huskies won their first two Big Ten series of the season, taking two of three at Nebraska and vs. Maryland – surrendering just six runs over the three games vs. UMD. They went across the country last weekend for a series at Rutgers, dropping two of three after taking the opener 3-1 behind six innings of one-hit ball from Max Banks. Isaac Yeager struck out six in his three-inning save, with the duo teaming up for a two-hitter.
Washington's bats erupted for a season-high 22 runs Tuesday in a midweek slugfest win at St. John's.
For Purdue, Brandon Rogers played at Husky Stadium last year as a member of the Pac-12 champion Arizona Wildcats. Sergio DeCello (Cowlitz Black Bears, Summer 2024) and CJ Richmond (Kelowna Falcons, Summer 2022) have also played in the state of Washington via summer league experience in the West Coast League. Richmond is expected to be available this weekend for the first time since suffering a broken hamate bone in his wrist on the final day of February.

NOTABLES FROM THE FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON
• Purdue was the first team in the Big Ten to reach 20 victories, winning its 20th game on March 25 as the earliest date on the calendar the program had ever reached the benchmark.
• The Boilermakers opened the season on a 10-game win streak, finally suffering their first loss on March 1 in the nightcap of a doubleheader vs. Akron. The game went 11 innings. Purdue trailed 9-6 entering the bottom of the seventh but tied the game in thrilling fashion with three consecutive home runs from Aaron Manias, Sergio DeCello and Brandon Rogers. It marked the third time since 2021 Purdue hit three homers in an inning. Manias and Rogers both connected for their first home runs as Boilermakers and DeCello became the first Purdue player to homer in both games of a doubleheader since March 2022.
• However, after winning its first five home games, Purdue dropped five of the final six games of its season-long 12-game homestand. During that stretch, the Boilers lost 13-12 to UCLA and 2-1 to Northern Illinois. The 12 runs were the most in a loss since April 2013 at Illinois and the 2-1 defeat marked the lowest-scoring game at Alexander Field since Minnesota also won in 2-1 fashion on the final day of the 2021 season.
• Logan Sutter went 6-for-6 with 12 total bases in a Feb. 22 win, becoming the first Boilermaker ever with a six-hit game. It remains the only six-hit game in the nation this season. He's became the fastest Boilermaker (by date on the calendar) to record 20, 30 and 40 RBI as well as 10 doubles. He's the only Boilermaker this century to homer in seven consecutive weekends. His go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning of the March 15 win vs. UIC was Purdue's fourth grand slam over the first five weekends.
• Lukas Cook did not open the season as the starting shortstop but quickly played his way into the lineup. He missed the 2024 season due to Tommy John Surgery. His team-high 14 multi-hit games (including 8 with at least 3 hits) have helped him take the Big Ten lead in batting average (.465 as of April 3). He's done it with a mature all-fields and base-hit approach after batting just .135 (7-for-52) in 2023. Two of those seven hits in 2023 were home runs, including a 10th-inning walk-off in a rubber game win vs. Northwestern in Purdue's first home weekend. Thirty-eight of Cook's 46 hits this season have been singles but he did hit a big home run – a go-ahead blast into the right field bullpen in the eighth inning of Purdue's 9-6 win vs. Michigan on March 22.
• Lukas Cook surged to the top of the Big Ten leaders in batting average thanks to a 10-for-14 weekend at the plate vs. UCLA. It is believed to be the first 10-hit showing in a three-game weekend series by a Boilermaker in the BBCOR bat era (2011-present). He also recorded hits in his first two at-bats in the next game vs. Northern Illinois, making him 12-for-16 over a stretch of 3 ½ games. Cook finished Purdue's 12-game homestand with a .490/.534/.633 slash line over 49 at-bats and did not commit an error defensively while seeing action at shortstop and second base.
• Lukas Cook (.463) and Logan Sutter (.409) enter the weekend both ranked among the top five in the Big Ten in batting average. They became just the third and fourth Boilermakers of the BBCOR bat era (2011-present) to enter the month of April batting .400 or better. Evan Albrecht (.409) did it in 2022 and Kevin Plawecki (.402) in 2011.
• Carter Doorn became the first four-year senior to start on Opening Day since 2021, making his first career weekend start in the process. He was Purdue's first pitcher to make his first Opening Day start as a senior since it happened three years in a row from 2011-13. Doorn enjoyed a streak of 22 consecutive innings without allowing an earned from over five straight starts, entering the weekend of March 21-23 leading the Big Ten with a 0.36 ERA.
• Avery Cook earned the save in both games of Purdue's season-opening doubleheader, becoming just the second Boilermaker since the start of the 2019 campaign to achieve the feat (also happened in April 2023). Cook was not charged with a run until March 28, opening the season with 14 consecutive scoreless innings over 11 appearances. He is the longest-tenured Boilermaker, joining the program in the fall of 2020. He missed the 2022 season due to Tommy John Surgery and converted to a sidearm delivery in the fall of 2023. With 10 career saves (5 this season), he's become the ninth Boilermaker to post a double-figure total.
• Logan Sutter and Aaron Manias both earned Big Ten Player of the Week honors over the first four weeks of the season, giving the Boilermakers a pair of honorees for the first time since 2018. Sutter was recognized after going 8-for-14 with 4 XBH and 8 RBI vs. Stephen F. Austin during the season-opening four-game sweep. Manias caught fire (9-for-17, 6 XBH, 13 RBI) during Purdue's first week of games in the Midwest (March 4-9), helping the Boilermakers win at Indiana State for the first time since April 2018 and take two of three vs. Minnesota – Purdue's fourth straight series win in Minneapolis – inside U.S. Bank Stadium to open Big Ten play.
• While batting leadoff in every game, Albert Choi reached base safely in his first 26 games as a Boilermaker. He opened the UCLA series with a leadoff home run. All-Big Ten outfielder and longtime leadoff man Mike Bolton Jr. hit a game-opening home run in consecutive weekends in April of last season. But prior to that, Purdue had gone without a leadoff home run since May 2017.
• Brandon Rogers was an Opening Day starter in center field but then started just one game prior to the March 12 home opener. He did play in each of the first 16 games – primarily as a pinch hitter/runner/defensive replacement. The Arizona transfer is Purdue's best defensive outfielder and with center field at Alexander Field measuring 408 feet, he was inserted back into the lineup when the home season (and a 12-game homestand) began. Rogers' all-around play earned him a full-time starting role in the process. He posted a .395/.465/.553 slash line while also stealing 9 bases during the homestand. Defensively he made a few highlight-reel catches, none bigger than robbing Michigan's top hitter (Mitch Voit) of a two-out RBI single with the game tied in the sixth inning of game 2 of the series. Purdue went on to win the game 9-6.
