POWER BATS Washington hit 13 home runs in its first five games as the offense erupted for 48 runs. Six times the Huskies have scored 40+ runs in the season’s first five games under the leadership of Heather Tarr. The 19-13 victory over South- ern Utah was the second-highest combined score in Washington history, behind on a 21-17 loss at Arizona in 2003. R-BAY-I Baylee Klingler recorded her 40th RBI as a Husky in exciting fashion, hitting a leadoff home run on Sunday. Klingler took just 30 games to reach 40 RBI in her Husky career, the fastest any Husky has ever reached the 40 RBI mark. The previous record was 42 games by Shawna Wright. Klingler, who led the Pac-12 in RBI in 2020, has driven in multiple runs in 11 of her 30 games as a Husky, with three 4-RBI days.
