Husky freshman Gabbie Plain throws perfect game

She joined Nancy Wagner, Jamie Graves and Danielle Lawrie as the only UW pitchers to throw a perfect game.

Freshman Gabbie Plain threw the fourth perfect game in Husky softball history and first ever by a freshman as No. 1 Washington defeated Utah 12-0 Saturday in a five-inning game that was shortened by the run-ahead rule.

Plain retired all 15 batters she faced, with only two balls reaching the outfield. Washington is now 38-2 (9-2 in the Pac-12), tying its best record through 40 games, set in 2000.

Plain twice came out after long waits on the bench, first after a seven-run second inning by the Huskies and then after a rain delay and four runs by the Huskies in the fourth.
