Covering high school sports in Tacoma, Pierce County and the South Sound.

The University of Washington won the softball national championship on Tuesday evening, beating Florida 3-2 and taking the series 2-0.

Helping the Huskies win the title were six players that call the South Sound home. Centralia's Dani Stuart, Timberline's Taylor Smith, Yelm's Alicia Blake, Auburn's Bailey Stenson, Lakes' Alyson McWherter and Kentlake's Felecia Harris are on the roster.

Blake was Washington's starting catcher and McWherter, The News Tribune's Player of the Year in 2006, started about half the games in centerfield.

The South Sound-to-Washington pipeline remains loaded. Auburn Riverside's Amanda Fitzsimmons, The News Tribune's Player of the Year this season, has committed to the Huskies and Steilacoom's Marki Creger-Zier has given a verbal commitment.
