Huskies Blank Bradley 11-0 Behind Thomas' 6 RBI
February 09, 2018 | Softball
PEORIA, ILL. – The Washington Huskies made it two wins in two games with an 11-0 shutout of Bradley Friday, winning game two of their doubleheader after defeating Saint Louis 15-3 earlier in the day. Kirstyn Thomas and Taryn Atlee each set career highs for RBI in a single game with six and four, respectively.
Taran Alvelo cruised through the game in the circle. The junior struck out the side three times, ending the game with 11 strikeouts in five innings of work. Alvelo allowed just three baserunners all game and faced two over the minimum.
Thomas had three extra-base hits in her four at-bats. The Texan started things off with a home run in the first to bring three runs in, then doubled in another in the second. She would homer again in the fourth.
Atlee also homered in the game, driving in three runs with her blast over the right-center wall to make it 8-0 in the second inning. Atlee also singled in the 4th to give her four RBI on the day.
