OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — On back-to-back days, Washington freshman Gabbie Plain stared down the toughest of challenges with seemingly no fear.
The Australian gave up four hits and no earned runs in six innings as Washington defeated top-seeded Oregon 6-2 on Friday in the Women's College World Series.
A day earlier, she gave up just four hits in 5 2/3 shutout innings against two-time defending champion Oklahoma. She was the winning pitcher against the Sooners' Paige Parker and Oregon's Megan Kleist, both first-team National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Americans.
Plain said she's keeping it simple and trusting her defense.
