A good weekend to be a Lawrie

Brett Lawrie had a good weekend in West Michigan. 3-for-11, home run, 5 RBI. The homer erased a 3-1 deficit and gave the Rattlers a win on Saturday.

But, his sister...Holy smokes.

Washington's long trip will end exactly where the Huskies believe they belong, in the NCAA championship series.

Multi-tasking national player of the year Danielle Lawrie assured it with a grand slam and her 40th victory of the season in a 9-3 decision over Georgia before 4,954 at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium on Sunday night.

"We don't take the easy road anywhere we go," Washington coach Heather Tarr said, alluding to a 9-8 loss in the first game to Georgia on Sunday.

The National Championship Series starts tonight between Washington and #1 Florida.
