SB: Ducks dismantle Hofstra 12-1 to conclude Oregon Invitational

The Oregon Ducks finished their long weekend of softball without needing to go the full seven innings beating the Hofstra Pride 12-1 on the heels of an impressive pitching performance by freshman starter Maggie Balint. Mike White’s squad outscored their opponents 54-4 run-ruling each team they faced with the exception of their first contest against the Idaho State Bengals. The Ducks improve to 24-0 on the young season becoming the last team in NCAA Division I to remain unbeaten. With the doubleheader against Portland State canceled (make-up games: TBA), the Ducks will have a five-day respite before they begin Pac-12 play against the California Golden Bears on March 17.
