After 25 games on the road in a one-month span, the No. 2 Washington Husky softball team plays at home for the first time this season, but fans won’t be there to greet the Huskies.
The Huskies (23-2) host the U.S. national team at 6 p.m. Thursday, then host Utah for a three-game weekend series beginning Friday. The games will go on even though there will no fans, a result of a state prohibition of gatherings of more than 25o people. The order was announced Wednesday by Gov. Jay Inslee amid the COVID-19 outbreak that has now been declared a global pandemic.
