Huskies Suffer First Loss Of Season Against No. 1 Oklahoma
February 11, 2023 | Softball
IRVINE, Calif. โ No. 14 Washington dropped a hard-fought contest with No. 1 Oklahoma 5-4 on Saturday night at the Mark Campbell Invitational.
ย
Madison Huskey was electric, going 3-for-4 with four RBI and a home run โ responsible for all four runs by Washington. Freshman Ruby Meylan came in and pitched three scoreless innings in relief, allowing only one hit.
ย
Huskey got the Washington (3-1) offense going with a solo home run with two outs in the first to give Washington the 1-0 advantage.
ย
Oklahoma (4-0) answered with three runs in the bottom of the inning.
ย
Washington responded in the third when Huskey once again reached on a single then advanced to second on an error by the left fielder, bringing around Baylee Klingler โ who singled a batter earlier.
ย
The Sooners once had an answer, plating two runs for a 5-2 advantage.
ย
The Dawgs didn't give up and found a way to bring runs across in the fourth. With runners on first and second with two outs, Huskey singled that allowed both runs to score after a fielding error by Oklahoma, making it a one run game once again at 5-4.
ย
Meylan came in and shutdown the Sooner offense in the final three frames.
ย
Down to the final three outs, Olivia Johnson led off the seventh with a walk and Sami Reynolds followed with a double, putting runners on second and third with no outs. The Huskies couldn't bring the tying run across.
ย
Up next, the Huskies head up to Los Angeles to face Loyola Marymount on Sunday morning. First pitch is set for 11 a.m. from Smith Field and airing on WCC Network.
