Late Rally Propels Huskies To Victory
May 26, 2023 | Softball
SEATTLE โ No. 7-seed Washington kicked off the Super Regional with an 8-0 five inning win over Louisiana on Friday night at a sold out Husky Softball Stadium.
ย
Ruby Meylan got the start for the Huskies and tossed her 14th complete game to pick up win No. 18. Meylan struck out seven with only two hits allowed.
ย
After four quiet innings, the Huskies came out swinging. Jadelyn Allchin led off with a hit by pitch and advanced to second on a Kelley Lynch sacrifice bunt. SilentRain Espinoza followed with an RBI double for the first run of the game. Sydney Stewart smashed her second home run of the season for a 3-0. Alana Johnson had the third straight hit for Washington and Rylee Holtorf crushed a home run out to straight away center to take a 5-0 advantage.
ย
With two outs in the fifth, Espinoza had her second hit of the night. Megan Vandegrift came in to pinch run. Stewart followed with a single of her own and advanced to second on the throw. Alana Johnson then followed with a base hit and came around to third on a couple of Louisiana errors, plating two runs. Holtorf ended the game with an RBI single.
ย
A win tomorrow for Washington would mean the Huskies advance to the Women's College World Series. First pitch is set for 4 p.m. PT. For all the latest tournament information, visit the tournament central page.
