Washington Huskies WCWS: Fall To Oklahoma 3-1

After several gritty wins, The Washington Huskies Women’s Softball Team Falls to Oklahoma 3-1 in Women’s Championship World Series play

The Washington Huskies arrived to the matchup with the Oklahoma Sooners yesterday by winning close games on great pitching and defense.  But as feared, the third time tempted fates too much.  Yesterday, it was the home team Sooners who found uncharacteristic solid pitching and defense to capture a win 3-1.

The Sooners scratched for single runs in the second, fifth and sixth inning to jump up to a 3-0 lead.  The lone run for the Huskies came from a homer from shortstop Ali Aguilar in the bottom of the sixth

Help Wanted: Hits and Runs

Kistyn Thomas, hero of the game against Oregon, was silenced 0-2 by Oklahoma pitcher Paige Parker.   Catcher Morganne Flores and center fielder Kelly Burdick joined Aguilar in the hit column.

As feared yesterday, the Washington Huskies offensive slump became the difference yesterday.

The loss tosses Washington back into the elimination bracket. The Huskies cannot lose again in the series.
