OKLAHOMA CITY — Jenn Salling hit a two-run single that turned into a whole lot more as Washington routed top-seeded Florida, 8-0, last night in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series finals.

Salling's single in the third inning brought in four runs when catcher Kristina Hilbreth tried to catch a runner at second. Her throw sailed into center field.

"We'll take it," Salling said, who is hitting .413 (19-for-46) since May 7.

Morgan Stuart added a two-run double in the fifth inning as the Huskies (50-12) had a surprising offensive outburst against Stacey Nelson, the nation's stingiest pitcher with a 0.48 ERA. Nelson (41-4) had consecutive shutouts to open the World Series.

"There's just something that's not clicking," Nelson said. "I'm not hitting the spots that I want to."

Danielle Lawrie (41-8) threw a two-hitter to set a Washington record with her 41st career shutout. Jennifer Spediacci, who pitched the Huskies to their last championship appearance in 1999, held the old record with 40.

Florida's 29-game winning streak was snapped.

Game 2 of the best-of-three series is tonight.
