March 17, 2018 | Softball
TEMPE, Ariz. – The #1 Washington Huskies fell 2-0 to the #10 Arizona State Sun Devils in a hard-fought road battle Saturday, taking their first loss of the season. Arizona State scored twice in the first inning for the game's only runs. Washington is now 28-1 on the season, while Arizona State improves to 23-3.
Gabbie Plain took the loss in the game despite an outstanding display in the circle. The freshman retired eight straight to end the game and allowed only four hits. She is now 9-1 on the year.
Taylor Van Zee had two of Washington's three hits in the game, leading off the game with a single. Van Zee would also single in the fifth after Kelly Burdick beat out an infield hit, only to have Burdick thrown out trying to take third.
The Huskies put two runners on in the second inning with walks by Emma Helm and Trysten Melhart, but those runners would be stranded.
