Second Week In Mexico For Huskies Features Four Games
February 12, 2019 | Softball
SEATTLE - After a successful first weekend at the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge, the #5 Washington Huskies will stay in Mexico for four more games this weekend. Washington will take on #25 Mississippi State, Arkansas, UCF, and North Dakota State in a pair of doubleheaders, set for Thursday and Friday, before returning to Seattle.

Last weekend, Washington went 4-1 in their first action of the 2019 season, including a win over #19 Baylor. The Husky defense shined, making only two errors all weekend, while three different Huskies drove in at least three runs over the five games. Washington will look to continue their strong non-conference play, which has seen them run up a 60-4 record in the regular season over the last three seasons.

SAMI SWATS SINGLES | |
| Sami Reynolds had a four-hit day in just her fifth career game, going 4-for-5 against #19 Baylor. It was the first four-hit game by a UW freshman since Kylee Lahners in 2012. Reynolds' seven hits through her first five games are the most by a freshman since Taylor Van Zee had eight in 2015. | ||

600 IS THE NEW 500 | |
| Taran Alvelo recorded her 600th career strikeout over opening weekend. She became the sixth Husky ever to record 600+ strikeouts, joining Danielle Lawrie, Jennifer Spediacci, Ashley Boek, Caitlin Noble, and Tia Bollinger. Alvelo has the fourth most strikeouts of any active pitcher, behind Kelly Barnhill (Florida), Nicole Newman (Drake), and Morgan Florey (Evansville). | ||

HOME IS AT THE HOT CORNER | |
| Washington has used three different starting third basemen so far this year. That trio of SilentRain Espinoza, Megan Vandegrift, and Ari Quiñones, all freshman, have hit a combined .500 with three runs and three RBI through five games. When leading off an inning, those three have reached base safely four of six times. | ||

|
KLEPTOMANIACS | |
| Washington went 8-for-8 on stolen bases on the weekend, with three different players recording multiple steals. That is the most consecutive successful steals to start the year by the Huskies since 2016, when the team began the year 16-for-16. | ||
