Alvelo Shines, But Huskies Fall 1-0 To #3 Florida
March 01, 2019 | Softball
FULLERTON, Calif. – A matchup of elite pitchers went against the #5 Washington Huskies, with the # Florida Gators eeking out a 1-0 win in extras. The only run came on a bases-loaded walk in the top of the eighth.
Taran Alvelo was absolutely dominant throughout the game. She set a new career high with 15 strikeouts in the game, striking out the side three times. Alvelo generated 28 swinging strikes in the game, striking out five consecutive batters from the third inning through the fifth. The only run in the game against her was unearned, coming off the tiebreaker runner in the eighth.
This was Alvelo's 19th career game with double-digit strikeouts, moving her to third in Husky history. Only Danielle Lawrie and Ashley Boek have had more.
Washington threatened several times, beginning with a Sis Bates walk in the first. In the third, Nawai Kaupe and Taryn Atlee moved into scoring position with one out after a walk and error, but were stranded.
Washington has just one game tomorrow at the Judi Garman Classic, playing Fresno State at 3:00 pm.
