FULLERTON, Calif. — Washington’s second-ranked softball team split a pair of games against top-four teams Friday, beating No. 4 LSU, 3-1, before losing to No. 3 Texas, 8-6, in the Judi Garman Classic.
In the opener, UW freshman Kelly Lynch carried a no-hitter into the fifth before getting touched for two hits and a run.
But the Huskies rallied with three in the sixth to win it, with two LSU throwing errors sandwiched around a sacrifice fly plating the three runs.
In the nightcap, the Huskies (16-2) fell into a quick 5-0 hole against the Longhorns and their comeback fell short despite home runs by Baylee Klingler and Jadelyn Allchin, who have combined to hit five home runs this season against top-five teams.
