Josh Kirshenbaum recaps the conclusion to the Washington softball team’s season yesterday, when the Bruins broke a scoreless 10th inning deadlock via a three-run walk-off home run off of the bat of Rachel Garcia, UCLA’s two-time national player of the year. The Bruins will face Oklahoma in a three-game series for the national championship starting today at 4:30 p.m. Pacific in an ESPN telecast.
Scott Hanson writes that despite yesterday’s heartbreaking finish for UW’s softball team, they’re well positioned to continue making runs deep into the Women’s College World Series for the foreseeable future:
The Huskies return 18 of 22 players, and lose just two starters.
