FULLERTON, Calif. — One day after hitting two home runs and driving in a career-high five runs, Washington sophomore Taylor Smith topped herself by hitting two grand slams and tying a school record with eight RBI, leading the top-ranked Huskies softball team (26-2) to a 12-4, six-inning victory over Purdue at the Judi Garman Classic.

Smith became the first player in Washington history to hit two grand slams in a game and tied Michelle Church's school-record eight RBI in a game.
