Washington had a somewhat disturbing trend in their first two series of Pac-12 play as they won the first two games quite handily before the bats were quieted in game three. The Huskies would have signed up for that in advance coming into this weekend against #14 UCLA as UW hadn’t won a series against the Bruins since 2016.
Sure enough, the exact situation came to fruition as the Huskies jumped out to early leads in each of the first 2 games before holding on late to secure the series win (6-5, 6-4). Then it was like someone turned off the water faucet as UCLA managed a 2-hit shutout to take the final game 6-0.
