After cruising to a 6-0 win in Game 1 of Saturday’s doubleheader, the No. 13 LSU softball entered the nightcap against No. 11 Washington attempting to win the series.

They didn’t.

The Tigers (41-14, 13-11 Southeastern Conference) rallied from an early 3-0 deficit but ultimately fell to the Huskies (33-12, 13-8 Pac-12) 9-4, snapping an 11-game win streak.

“We started hitting out of our plans,” said senior shortstop Bianka Bell. “We were not helping ourselves out at all. If we just had better at-bats and stayed within our plan, it would have been a different outcome for us.”

Washington used a three-run third to jump out to a 3-0 advantage. The Tigers used two walks and three hits to plate four runs to take back the lead in the bottom of the frame.

The Huskies knotted the game at four a piece in the next frame and LSU’s starting pitcher sophomore Allie Walljasper was pulled in favor of sophomore ace Carley Hoover.

In the sixth, a single, a hit batter and a wild pitch from Hoover gave Washington the breaks they needed to get back on top. The Tigers went down in order in response and the visitors would add another four in the seventh to solidify their position.

Huskies starting pitcher Madi Schreyer was shelled in the bottom of the third, but bounced back allowing only three base runners in the final four innings.

LSU and Washington will decide the series in the rubber match and the Tigers regular season finale at noon on Sunday.

“It’s about having guts,” said LSU coach Beth Torina. “If we can bounce back from that performance and show up and win the game tomorrow that’s what it’s all about. It doesn’t matter how you get it done at the end of the year it’s that you get it done.”
