Indiana softball drops heartbreaker to Washington in opening game of Columbia Regional
Washington won in walk-off fashion over Indiana softball on Friday afternoon in the opening round of the Columbia Regional at Missouri Softball Stadium.
The Hoosiers were down to their last out in the seventh, but tied the game on a RBI double from Avery Parker only to give up the lead in the bottom of inning — freshman Giselle Alvarez hit a double on a 3-2 count and two outs — with Sophie Kleiman taking the loss in relief.
Indiana (40-19) lost 8-7 to a Huskies team that had lost four straight games coming into the NCAA tournament and six of their last seven. The loss sets up an elimination game for the Hoosiers on Saturday against the loser of the game between Missouri and Omaha on Friday night.

Indiana softball can’t hold onto the lead
Indiana pounced on Washington ace Ruby Meylan when she entered the game in the fifth inning.
The Hoosiers limited two-time first-team All-Pac 12 pitcher to the shortest appearance of her career (she only recorded two outs) to take their first lead of the game with four runs in the inning.
Meylan entered the game in the fifth with her team leading 4-1 and the bottom of the order coming up.
Cora Bassett and Brooke Benson led off the inning with back-to-back singles. Washington allowed Bassett to score on a miscue in the infield when catcher Sydney Stewart tried to throw to second base and Meylan thought she was throwing back to the mound.
The ball bounced off Meylan’s glove and the Hoosiers cut the lead to 4-2. Taylor Minnick followed that up with an RBI double.
Meylan exited the game after getting only two outs. It’s the first time in her career she didn’t pitch at least a full inning.
Lopez re-entered the game and Stone crushed a two-run home run on the first pitch she saw to give Indiana a 5-4 lead. Freshman Alex Cooper hit a home run in the top of the sixth inning off the top of the center field wall.
Washington rallied in the sixth inning.
Olivia Johnson knocked in two runs with a shallow single to right field to tie the game 6-6. The Huskies scored the go-ahead run on what looked like a sure out at second base.
The Hoosiers tried to get the lead runner when Brooklyn Carter sent a softly hit ball to first base, but the throw bounced off Brooke Benson’s glove at second and Johnson just kept on running as the shortstop held onto the ball in the outfield.
Indiana was credited with two fielding errors on the play.
Indiana softball falls behind early
Washington went up 2-0 in the bottom of the second.
Huskies first baseman Brooke Nelson worked a leadoff walk off starting pitcher Brianna Copelan and scored on a double from Alana Johnson. Johnson reached third on a throwing error on the play and scored on Kinsey Fiedler’s sacrifice fly to center.
Indiana got on the board in the top of the fourth when Stone crushed the second pitch she saw off the fence in center field for her first triple of the season (fourth of her career). Aly VanBrandt laid down a perfect suicide squeeze in front of the plate that scored pinch runner Cassidy Kettleman.
The momentum was short-lived.
Washington led off the bottom of the inning with three straight hits that scored a pair of runs. Johnson led off the inning with another double and scored on an RBI triple from Fielder that landed just outside of the outstretched glove of Kettleman in center.
Indiana made a pitching change after Sydney Stewart hit an RBI single with Sophie Kleiman replacing Copeland. Copeland gave up six hits (three extra-base hits) and a walk in three innings.
Kleiman worked out of the jam thanks in part to a nice catch in foul territory on the first base line from Stone.

19-Year-Old Transgender University of Washington Student Fatally Stabbed
Sign up for The Agenda, Them’s news and politics newsletter, delivered Thursdays.
This story contains descriptions of fatal violence against a transgender person.
The Seattle Police Department are searching for a suspect after a 19-year-old University of Washington student was stabbed to death in an off-campus student apartment complex on May 10.
Seattle Police Department Detective Eric Muñoz told NBC News that the victim is “believed to be a 19-year-old transgender female” who was enrolled at the university. The victim has not yet been publicly identified by name. She was found in the housing complex laundry room shortly after 10 p.m. on Sunday night.
The housing complex, Nordheim Court, is privately managed but affiliated with the university, located near an upscale shopping center in Seattle’s U-Village neighborhood. According to NBC News, residents received an official alert from UW to stay inside their homes and lock all windows and doors — an alert that was lifted around 1 a.m. with the acknowledgment that “a death investigation remains ongoing.”
According to SPD detective Eric Muñoz, police and the fire department attempted lifesaving measures but ultimately “pronounced the victim deceased at the scene.”
“Officers are actively searching for the suspect, believed to be a black male with a beard, 5’6-8” tall, wearing a vest with button up shirt, and blue jeans,” Muñoz wrote in a blotter report.
Muñoz noted that the victim would be identified by the medical examiner’s office in “the coming days.” The SPD did not immediately respond to Them’s request for comment.
This is the seventh known trans person to be violently killed in 2026. In mid-April, 39-year-old transmasculine farmer Luca RedBeard was fatally shot in rural New Mexico. Last week, police in Marion County, Florida opened a homicide investigation into the shooting death of a 29-year-old who went by multiple names and referred to “transitioning” on social media. In Kentucky, an investigation into the disappearance of 22-year-old trans college student Murry Foust remains ongoing.
Police are asking anyone with information about the University of Washington case to call the Violent Crimes Tip Line at 206-233-5000, emphasizing that anonymous tips are accepted.
This is a developing story.

How the Sea Mar Museum Is Preserving Latino History in Washington
On a quiet stretch of Des Moines Memorial Drive in South Seattle, the Sea Mar Museum of Chicano/a/Latino/a Culture rises like a long‑overdue acknowledgment. Its brick exterior doesn’t shout; it invites. Inside, the rooms hum with the stories of families who crossed borders, harvested fields, organized classrooms, and built communities across Washington state—often without seeing their histories reflected anywhere on a museum wall.
For Rogelio Riojas, founder and CEO of Sea Mar Community Health Centers, the museum is a promise kept. “We wanted to make sure the contributions of Latinos in Washington state are recognized and preserved for future generations,” he told The Seattle Times when the museum opened in 2019. It was a simple statement, but one that captured decades of work—both visible and invisible—by the region’s Latino communities.
Walking through the galleries feels like stepping into a living archive. One of the most arresting sights is a pair of original farmworker cabins, transported from Eastern Washington. Their narrow wooden frames and sparse interiors speak volumes about the migrant families who once slept inside after long days in the fields. The cabins are not replicas or artistic interpretations; they are the real thing, weathered by sun, dust, and time. They anchor the museum’s narrative in the physical realities of labor that shaped the state’s agricultural economy.
Sea Mar describes the museum as “dedicated to sharing the history, struggles, and successes of the Latino community in Washington state,” a mission that plays out in photographs, letters, student newspapers, and oral histories contributed by community members themselves. These aren’t artifacts chosen from afar—they’re family treasures, personal archives, and memories entrusted to the museum so they can live beyond the kitchen tables and shoeboxes where they were once kept.
The story extends beyond the museum walls. Just steps away is the Sea Mar Community Center, a sweeping, light‑filled gathering space designed for celebrations, performances, workshops, and community events. With room for nearly 500 people, a full stage, a movie‑theater‑sized screen, and a catering kitchen, the center was built with one purpose: to give the community a place to see itself, gather, and grow. Sea Mar describes it as “a welcoming space for families, organizations, and community groups to gather, celebrate, and learn,” and on any given weekend, it lives up to that promise.
Together, the museum and community center form a cultural campus—part historical archive, part living room for the region’s Latino communities. Students come to learn about the Chicano activists who reshaped the University of Washington in the late 1960s. Families come to see their own histories reflected in the exhibits. Visitors come to understand a story that has long been present in Washington, even if it wasn’t always visible.
The Sea Mar Museum is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., offering free admission to anyone who walks through its doors. For many, it’s more than a museum—it’s a recognition, a gathering place, and a testament to the people who helped shape the Pacific Northwest.
