The Michigan softball team, one win from reaching the NCAA Super Regionals, was swept by balanced Washington, which relied on strong pitching the first game, and then hot bats in the second.
Michigan had beaten Washington Saturday in the double-elimination regional and needed one win. But Gabbie Plain, the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, who started both games, led the Huskies in a 2-0 victory in the first game.
In the second game, after Michigan built a 5-1 lead after two innings, the Huskies scored two runs in the third inning and then blew open the game with seven runs in the bottom of the fourth, winning 10-5, at Husky Softball Stadium.
