Highlights from Stanford's 6-0 win at No. 7 Washington.
LAST TIME OUT
• Stanford played well at No. 7 Washington and earned its first win against a top-10 team since 2015 with a dominating 6-0 victory on Saturday.
• The Cardinal dropped a 1-0 decision in the opener on Friday. Carolyn Lee got the start for the Cardinal and held the Huskies to one run on six hits with five strikeouts in six innings. Stanford's offense was unable to provide the clutch hit needed to earn the win, leaving runners stranded in all seven innings.
• Stanford broke through on Saturday behind an outstanding pitching performance by Kiana Pancino who was a double shy of a perfect game. It was the first complete game of Pancino's career. The Cardinal's offense came alive, paced by a 4-for-4 with two RBIs showing by Kristina Inouye and a four-RBI performance by Whitney Burks.
• Kylie Sorenson registered a hit in all three games to extend her hitting streak to 12. She finished the weekend 4-for-10 with three runs, a home run, a double, an RBI and an .800 slugging percentage. It is the third consecutive Pac-12 series Sorenson has hit .400 or better (UCLA, .556; Oregon State, .417).
THE OREGON SERIES
• Stanford is 33-36 all-time against Oregon and went 0-3 against the Ducks in last year's series. Carolyn Lee dazzled in her Pac-12 debut against the Ducks last season in the conference opener, holding Oregon to two runs on three hits with three strikeouts. Haley Snyder hit the first home run in Jane Sanders Stadium in the second game of the series – a solo home run to right field.
