Round Two

The Washington Huskies await the winner of the Oklahoma versus Baylor game which began at 6:30 p.m. PT Thursday, June 1.  As of this article, Oklahoma is the odds-on favorite to win the game.  In the fourth inning, the Sooners lead the Bears by a score of 5-1.

The next round series is a double elimination round.  The schedule of games featuring winners and loses can be found on ESPN W. The shortest route to the title for the Huskies requires two more victories, and then a best two out of three series for the championship.

ESPN W ranks the Huskies fifth overall in the field of eight competing teams, just behind fourth ranked Oregon and third ranked UCLA.  After today’s activity, the Huskies are the lone PAC-12 school remaining in the winners bracket.

Today’s heroes were Ali Aguilar with a tremendous stop at shortstop, and runs from Sis Bates, and Kirsten Thomas

The Washington Huskies are one step closer to the championship.
