Quick Recap
Taran Alvelo gave up some baserunners over her complete game (5 hits, 3 walks), but was able to work around them, other than an RBI groundout that didn’t really help Oregon in the bottom of the seventh. One really good sign for Taran and the Huskies: Alvelo continues to be able to be effective without large numbers of strikeouts (3 in this game), a big adjustment from last year and early this year. When freshman Taran Alvelo wasn’t racking up close to double-digit strikeouts, she was usually getting hit. TA clearly can still get big strikeout numbers sometimes.
