Danielle Lawrie fired her fourth no-hitter of the season and Shawna Wright drove in a career-high five runs to lead the top-ranked Washington softball team to an 8-0 win over Stanford on Friday.
The game, played before 1,667 at Husky Softball Stadium, was called after five innings because of the mercy rule.
The Huskies (41-5, 13-3 Pac-10) need three wins in their final five games to clinch at least a share of the conference title.
Lawrie (31-2) struck out 11 and walked one in her eighth career no-hitter — sixth most in Pac-10 history. The senior is 34 strikeouts shy of the Pac-10 career record.
Wright, a freshman, ripped a three-run double in the first inning and a two-run home run in the third to give her 11 home runs and a team-leading 48 runs batted in. She has a conference-leading 22 RBI.
Lawrie also went 2 for 3 with two RBI and a run.
The Huskies and 15th-ranked Stanford play again Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at noon.
