CHICAGO, Ill. – The No. 16 Washington softball team (27-6, 9-0 Big Ten) earned its 19th non-conference win of the season Tuesday afternoon, shutting out Loyola Chicago 7-0 at Loyola Softball Park.
The Huskies have now won 17 straight games with 11 total shutouts and are 9-0 on the road.
Sophia Ramuno started in the circle for the Huskies, earning her seventh win of the year with a season-high 12 strikeouts.
UW registered nine hits but couldn't put a run on the board until the top of the fifth inning. Giselle Alvarez recorded her first career multi-home run game, notching the first score of the day for Washington in the fifth, and then once again in the top of the sixth.
Kaycie Burdick also had quite the day, notching the first home run of her career in the form of a grand slam to put UW up 5-0 in the sixth.
Burdick finished the afternoon 3-for-5 with a career-high five RBI, adding an RBI single in the top of the seventh to score the seventh run of the game.
Alvarez and Burdick led the way offensively for the Dawgs, both notching three hits on the game.
Washington will head to Iowa City this weekend for a B1G series at Iowa starting Friday, March 27.
