No. 8 Washington Rolls Past Penn State, 15-0
March 10, 2017 | Softball
SEATTLE โ No. 8 Washington picked up its second win of the day after rolling past Penn State, 15-0, in the Huskies' second game of the opening day of the Husky Classic.
ย
Before their five-inning rout of the Nittany Lions, the Huskies snapped No. 7 Minnesota's 19-game win streak with a 3-2 win as Washington head coach Heather Tarr captured her 500th career win.
ย
Against Penn State, the team collected 12 hits from seven different batters, including three each from Morganne Flores and Sis Bates. Flores, whose sixth-inning home run broke a 2-2 tie in the win over Minnesota, homered twice in the Penn State game, while Bates and Ali Aguilar knocked one homer apiece.
ย
Freshman Samantha Manti (4-0) went the distance for the Purple and Gold, recording four strikeouts and giving up only two hits for the win.
ย
In the first, Taylor Van Zee reached on a fielder's choice and advanced to second on a Stangel walk. A triple from Bates sent the two runners home to snag an early 2-0 lead. Flores followed up with a two-run home run to finish the inning with the Huskies ahead, 4-0.
ย
In the third inning, the Huskies batted around, sending ten batters to the plate and scoring seven runs. DePonte walked and advanced to second on a bunt single from Bates. A Flores single plated DePonte and double from Rachel Ogasawara brought in Flores to make the score 6-0.
ย
With two outs in the third and bases loaded, Aguilar hit a grand slam deep to right field and the Huskies ended the inning 11-0.
ย
Washington tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend their lead to 15-0. Kirstyn Thomas hit an RBI double followed by a two-run homer from Flores, her second of the night.
ย
The Husky Classic continues on Saturday as the Huskies when they take on South Dakota at 2:45 p.m. at Husky Softball Field, followed by a Washington and Minnesota rematch at 5 p.m.ย
