ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Senior Caitlin Noble pitched a complete-game shutout to lead the No. 22 Washington softball team to a 6-0 victory over Missouri Sunday at the Lobo Invitational.
The game, which was postponed by rain on Friday, was picked up in the bottom of the second inning with the Huskies (7-5-1) ahead 2-0.
Noble, who held the Tigers to five hits in seven innings, also contributed a two-run double in the Huskies’ three-run third inning.
Washington’s game vs. UC Riverside was canceled due to rain. The Huskies and Highlanders will finish their four-game series with a 1 p.m. matchup today.

    For all of you cheering the pilots amazing abilities, I personally think he was totally out of control, screwed up, and luckily walked away. According to the NTSB investigation:”The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:The pilot’s failure to maintain control of the helicopter after a loss of hydraulic system pressure due to a failure of the hydraulic pump belt. Factors in this accident were the pilot’s misidentification of a hydraulic failure, the pilot’s subsequent failure to perform the appropriate emergency procedure, and the improper installation of the hydraulic pump belt by maintenance personnel.”Seems that he mis-interpeted the hydraulic failure and did not follow proper procedures. But then again, when you’re low, over peoples houses, trying to react properly from the 100+ emergency procedues, go “oh look, hydraulic failure’, having maybe 5-10 seconds to figure out what’s wrong, it’s a hard job - especially when you have passengers on board.
