SEATTLE – The Seattle U Redhawks' final non-conference game ended in a 6-2 defeat at #10 Washington. Kalyn Hill had a big game at the plate, going 2-for-3 with her fourth home run of the season, but three homers by Washington made the difference.
The Redhawks head into their final home games of the regular season this weekend with a 24-21 record after tonight's non-conference contest.
Seattle U's pitching looked strong all game long, only to be hurt by the long ball. Carley Nance struck out eight and walked none in four innings of work, recording her 400th career strikeout in the second inning. Grace Luderer was near-perfect in her two innings of relief, allowing only one hit.
At the plate, the Redhawks were plenty patient, drawing four walks and putting runners on base in all but one inning. Brooke Milder had an RBI single in the sixth, one of seven Redhawks to reach safely in the game. Olivia Viggiano also had an infield single, giving her her third season of 50+ hits in her career.
