SEATTLE – Utah's bats stayed silent in the opener against No. 1 Washington this evening, 5-0.

The junior also allowed a walk to Heather Bowen but improved to 19-1 on the season with a seven-strikeout shutout.
Â
Katie Donovan struggled with her control for Utah, walking five in 3 1/3 innings. Hailey Hilburn went the final 2 2/3 frames, striking out three.
Â
Washington started scoring in the first when Sis Bates walked, moved to third on a single by Kirstyn Thomas and came home on a Julia DePonte ground ball.
Â
Taylor Van Zee and Bates walked to begin the third and after an infield single by Thomas, a wild pitch scored the game's second run.
Â
In the fourth, Kelly Burdick singled and Van Zee doubled her home. After a ground out, another wild pitch made it 4-0.
Â
The final run scored in the sixth as Burdick and Van Zee walked with two outs. Bates brought in a run with a single
