Huskies End Regular Season At Home
May 07, 2019 | Softball
SEATTLE - Now ranked second in the country, the Washington Huskies will return to Seattle for the final weekend of the regular season, hosting the Stanford Cardinal. The Huskies will try to pick up their seventh Pac-12 series win and sixth sweep to finish out the year before postseason play begins.
Last week, the Huskies swept the #4 Arizona Wildcats in Tucson, moving to 17-4 in Pac-12 play with the victory. Those 17 Pac-12 wins are tied with 2010 for the most in Heather Tarr's tenure as Husky coach, with Washington last besting that total in 1998. Washington's all-time record for Pac-12 wins is 23, set in 1996 in a 27-game conference season.
Washington will host Stanford this weekend for the first time since 2017, when the Huskies won two of three games. Washington has not lost a series to Stanford since 2012, going 15-3 since then.

PAC-12 POWER | |
| With her 11 home run in Pac-12 play, Morganne Flores set a Washington record for most homers in conference play. Only one other player, Kristen Rivera in 2005, had ever hit ten home runs in Pac-12 for the Huskies. Flores leads the Pac-12 in homers during conference play and is the only player with double-digit homers. She also leads the conference in Pac-12 slugging percentage with a .912 mark. Teammate Amirah Milloy is fifth with a .784 slugging percentage. | ||

SIS BATES IS EVER SO GOOD | |
| Sis Bates continues to lead the Pac-12 in conference batting average at .485 and is hitting .395 overall. She has 203 career hits, the second-most of any active Pac-12 player, behind only Cal's Lindsay Rood (251 hits). Only one time this season has Bates gone multiple games in a row without a hit. In the next game after going hitless, Bates is hitting .583, with 14 runs and ten RBI. | ||

LOOKING FOR A HUNDO | |
| Taran Alvelo is two wins away from 100 in her career. She would join Danielle Lawrie and Jennifer Spediacci as the only Huskies ever to win 100 games in their careers. Alvelo would also be the third active pitcher in Division I with 100 wins, along with James Madison's Megan Good and Florida State's Meghan King. Alvelo has record 20+ wins three consecutive years and has set a new career high in strikeouts this season. With four more strikeouts, she would tie Ashley Boek for third in UW history. | ||

SILENT RAIN, LOUD BAT | |
| After recording no extra-base hits in her first 20 career games, SilentRain Espinoza has four in her last eight, including two homers. Espinoza has hits in seven of the last eight games, hitting .384 in that time. Against ranked opponents, Espinoza has hit .423/.483/.577, the highest batting average of any Husky (min. 10 ABs). | ||
