Washington will join the seven other Super Regional winners at the WCWS, which begins Thursday and will run through Friday, June 9 if necessary. It’s the Dawgs’ 15th trip to the WCWS. The Huskies will open play Thursday against either Utah and San Diego State, who will play Sunday in a winner-take-all Super Regional finale.
The Huskies broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning of Game 2 on Saturday, with second baseman Baylee Klingler driving a double to deep center field and pinch-runner Avery Hobson scoring on a sacrifice fly by right fielder Madison Huskey.

In Friday’s win for the UW Huskies softball team, Meylan struck out seven while giving up two hits and four walks in a complete-game victory. Stewart and Rylee Holtorf each hit a two-run homer in a four-run fourth inning that did the majority of the damage for the Dawgs.
Don’t mess with the Dawgs! 😎
