SB | Oregon Defeats #9 Arizona, Sweeps the Weekend Series

Following a 25-hour delay that saw the Ducks run-rule the Wildcats for the first time this season, Oregon capitalized to defeat Arizona in the final game of the series 10 to 0. Megan Kleist started for the Ducks and she was in control for the entire five innings she pitched. She allowed zero runs en route to striking out 10 batters and walking away with the win. Mary Iakopo gave the Wildcats’ pitching staff fits, going three for four, accumulating four RBIs and hitting a three-run homer to force the run-rule. The Wildcats were held to one hit all game when Reyna Carranco was able to single in the fourth inning. The Ducks will look to take the momentum from the series sweep with them when they play #7 Arizona State in Phoenix, beginning on Friday, April 13.
