SANTA CLARA, Ca. – The #2 Washington Huskies had their highest-scoring game since 2016, beating the Santa Clara Broncos 19-0. Washington hit five home runs, their most since hitting a school-record nine in 2011, and scored multiple runs in every inning.

Sami Reynolds had the third five-hit game in school history, joining Angie Marzetta and Morgan Stuart in that regard. Reynolds was one of two Huskies with multi-homer games along with SilentRain Espinoza, who set new career highs in hits and RBI.

Washington had not had multiple players each hit multiple home runs in the same game since April 2, 2017, when Casey Stangel and Ali Aguilar did. This was just the fourth time in had ever happened: Stangel and Aguilar in 2017, Kimi Pohlman and Morgan Stuart in 2011, and Aimee Minor and Sarah Hyatt in 2005.

Reynolds, Espinoza, Taryn Atlee, and Baylee Klingler all did not record an out in the game, reaching all 18 times they came to the plate and combining for 11 runs and 14 RBI. With runners on base, Washington recorded 15 hits. Washington's starting lineup hit .633 as a group in the game.

T4 | SAMI. AGAIN.

		SCORING
First Inning: Two home runs gave Washington a big early lead. After a Klingler RBI single, both Espinoza and Lynch went yard to make it 5-0 before Santa Clara came to the plate. Second Inning: Reynolds hit her first home run of the year just one pitch after her bunt attempt rolled foul, making it 7-0 on the two-run shot. The Huskies followed a familiar sequence after that: Klingler hit an RBI single, then Espinoza ripped another home run to make it 10-0. Third Inning: Atlee led off the inning with a triple, her third of the year. Atlee would score one of Washington's two runs in the inning on Reynolds' RBI single. Reynolds would then score on a double by Bates for a 12-0 lead. Fourth Inning: It was Reynolds going deep again, a two-run shot bouncing off the fuse box of the right-center lights. A bases-loaded walk by Espinoza made it 15-0. Fifth Inning: Atlee and Klingler each doubled in the inning to drive in runs, with Bates picking up an RBI as well as the lead stretched to 19-0.

		NOTES
Klingler (3x3, 2 R, 2B, 3 RBI) is the second player in the country with 30 RBI. Bates (2x4, 3 R, 2B, 2 RBI) made her 200^th career start for the Huskies. She is the 12^th Husky to do so in the last decade. Bates moved into UW's top ten in doubles with her 42, tying her with Dominique Lastrapes and Kim DePaul. Plain (5.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 9 K) moved to eighth in UW history in strikeouts, passing Jamie Graves. Reynolds (5x5, 4 R, 2 HR, 5 RBI) set new career highs in runs, hits, and RBI. Reynolds has scored 12 runs and driven in eight in her last five games, reaching base 17 times. Lynch (1x3, HR, 2 RBI) has homered in three of her last four games. Espinoza (4x4, 2 R, 2 HR, 5 RBI) has three games with 3+ RBI this year after recording three in 40 games last season, including today's career-high five-RBI game. Last season, Washington's non-Morganne Flores hitters had 25 homers in 61 games. This year, that group has 24 homers in 23 games.

Washington heads to San Jose for the rest of the weekend, playing UC Santa Barbara and San Jose State tomorrow, then Saint Mary's on Sunday.
