Washington softball falls 3-2 to Saint Mary's in 11 innings
The Washington Huskies suffered their second loss to the Saint Mary's Gaels in as many days, falling 3-2 in 11 innings.
For the second straight day, the Washington Huskies couldn't solve Saint Mary's as they fell 3-2 to the Gaels in 11 innings on Friday afternoon in Palo Alto, California. Just like she was on Friday, pitcher Odhi Vasquez was a thorn in the Huskies' side yet again. After starter Madeline Haun went the first 6 innings and let up 2 runs on 5 hits with a walk and a strikeout, Vasquez took over and was nearly untouchable.
Over the final five frames, she allowed just 2 hits and a walk with 4 strikeouts as she improved to 14-2 on the year. That isn't to say that the Huskies didn't have their chances in the late innings, as they had runners on second and third with two outs in the eleventh inning, but Vasquez struck out catcher Jadyn Glab to eliminate the threat as the Huskies racked up just 7 hits in the contest, four of which came from center fielder Kaycie Burdick and third baseman Giselle Alvarez. Alvarez drove in Washington's only two runs with a solo home run in the fourth inning, her team-leading 13th long ball, and added an RBI double in the sixth.

The Team Canada standout surrendered 3 runs on 12 hits and 2 walks with 10 strikeouts while throwing 165 pitches in the loss. After surrendering a two-run home run to third baseman Sam Buckley in the first inning, Reimer settled in and worked around traffic throughout the day, until Buckley got her again for a solo homer to lead off the eleventh.
