Women’s College World Series: Washington gets another victory over Oregon

Kirstyn Thomas’ two-run home run in the top of the seventh inning helped Washington defeat Oregon 3-1 on Thursday in the Women’s College World Series.

Taran Alvelo pitched a complete game for the Huskies, who advanced to a winners’ bracket game Friday against Oklahoma.

Washington ended Oregon’s 15-game win streak. It was the Huskies’ third win in four tries against their Pac-12 Conference rivals this season.

After Thomas’ homer put Washington up 3-0, Oregon’s Lauren Lindvall doubled to start the bottom of the seventh.

Jenna Lilley was hit by a pitch to put two on with no out. Pinch-hitter Madi Bishop drove in a run, but that’s all the Ducks got.
