SEATTLE – A career game from Amirah Milloy helped the #4 Washington Huskies clinch game one of their three game series against Arizona State, winning 8-4. Milloy drove in five runs, hitting a double and home run in her two at-bats. The Huskies won their tenth consecutive Pac-12 game, moving to 33-6 overall this season.

Milloy was just one part of an impressive showing from Washington's lower half of the lineup. The six through nine spots in the lineup went a combined 6-for-9, scoring six runs and driving in seven. Taryn Atlee had a 2-for-3 day, while Madison Huskey homered and scored twice.

Gabbie Plain worked six innings for the Huskies, retiring the first eight batters she faced and thrice recording 1-2-3 innings. She struck out 11 batters before ceding to Taran Alvelo in the seventh, who struck out two to finish the win.
