Contributions Up And Down Lineup Lead To 6-2 Victory
April 06, 2019 | Softball
BERKELEY, Calif. – The #6 Washington Huskies clinched another Pac-12 series victory with a 6-2 win over the Cal Golden Bears. Morganne Flores' 12th home run of the season tied the game up, with Taryn Atlee and Kaija Gibson helping secure the win with two-hit days. Five different Huskies had RBI as Washington moved to 31-6 on the year and 8-3 in Pac-12 play.
Washington's 18-inning scoreless streak came to an end in the game when Cal struck in the first inning for two runs after a Husky error. It was the first deficit the Huskies have faced during their now nine-game win streak and would only last until the fourth inning, when four runs by Washington put the Huskies on top for good.
Taran Alvelo, who earned the win, faced a bit of pressure in the fourth after back-to-back singles started the frame for Cal. The senior stranded those runners on second and third after a sac bunt with a strikeout and routine popup, killing Cal's best chance. That was the start of 12 straight batters retired by Alvelo and Gabbie Plain, who took over in the fifth and closed out the victory.
The Huskies and Golden Bears wrap their series tomorrow at noon.
