No. 3 UCLA (40-3, 13-5 Pac-21) completed a softball sweep of top-ranked Washington, winning the series finale Sunday 1-0 in Los Angeles.
Taran Alvelo took the loss despite giving up just one run on five hits in six innings. She struck out five and walked one. The Huskies (41-5, 12-5) managed just three singles.
The game’s lone run came in the fourth inning. Bubba Nickles’ bloop single to right scored Kylee Perez. UW’s Trysten Melhart threw out a runner at third on the play, but the umps ruled Perez scored before that third out.
The Huskies return home to host Oregon starting Friday.
