The University of Washington softball team, which was ranked No. 1 in the nation earlier this month, lost its sixth game in a row Sunday. Second-ranked Oregon beat the now-fourth-ranked Huskies 5-3.
One of the best seasons in Husky softball history is quickly falling back to earth.
No. 4 Washington, a team that led the NCAA in earned-run average entering the weekend, hadn’t surrendered more than four runs in a game all year. It hadn’t lost a game at Husky Softball Stadium. And not since 2012 had it lost six in a row.
One series against Oregon changed all that.
