SEATTLE - Redshirtย junior Rachel Garcia struck out nine in a complete-game, three-hit shutout, while senior Taylor Pack came up with the clutch hit, a bases-clearing, three-run double in the sixth inning, as the top-ranked Bruins defeated No. 5 Washington, 3-0, on Friday at Husky Softball Stadium.
Garcia improved to 11-0, limiting the Huskies (22-4, 0-1 Pac-12) to six baserunners on two walks and a hit by pitch. She had 1-2-3 innings in the second, fifth and sixth innings, striking out the side in the seventh and two in the sixth. UCLA (23-1, 1-0 Pac-12) had four hits, with freshman Kelli Godin providing two.
The closest Washington got to scoring was in the third when they had runners at the corners and two outs, but a line out to right ended the threat.
Besides a couple of walks, the Bruins were held hitless until the sixth when Godinย led off with a single through the 5-6 hole. After the freshman stole second, sophomore Briana Perez reached on an infield single to the 3-4 hole to put a pair on. The next two Bruins would be retired, but after an intentional walk to Garcia, Pack stroked a double to center to score three and put UCLA up.
The Bruins and the Huskies continue their three-game series on Saturday at 2 p.m. The game will be broadcast on Pac-12 Networks National and Los Angeles.
