Giselle Alvarez powers Washington Huskies to 8-0 win over North Dakota

Another day, another run-rule victory for the Washington Huskies as they waltzed to their 13th consecutive win, beating the North Dakota Fighting Hawks 8-0. Coach Heather Tarr's team got off to a hot start on Wednesday and never looked back, putting up three runs in the first inning. Junior third baseman Giselle Alvarez got the party started with a run-scoring single as part of a stellar day where she went 3-for-3 with 4 runs batted in and 2 runs scored, finishing a triple shy of the cycle thanks to a three-run home run in the second inning and an RBI double in the fourth inning.
