13th-seeded Washington softball sleepwalked through 4.5 innings and found themselves unexpectedly trailing.
It didn’t take long to reverse that trend.
The Huskies (36-15, 14-10 Pac-12) scored five runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth to earn a 9-2 win over Lehigh (30-19-1, 15-3 Patriot) that did not feel anywhere near as comfortable as that sounds.
Kelley Lynch got the start for the Huskies and was initially quite effective, striking out five of the first seven batters she faced. After she finished the second inning, Lynch immediately went straight to the training staff to took a look at her.
