SB| Oregon Allows Four Home-Runs As Arizona State Run-Rules The Ducks 12-4

After losing the first two games of the series to the Arizona State Sun Devils (32-18, 12-10 Pac-12) the Oregon Ducks (22-29, 5-17 Pac-12) looked to bounce back as the team would try to send their seniors off with a win.

The ducks got things rolling in the first inning with back-to-back doubles from Allee Bunker and Jasmine Sievers scoring the first run of the game. But Arizona State answered right back in the next inning with a solo home-run from Jade Gortarez tying the game at one.

From there on, the sun devil’s bats stayed hot with Kiara Kennedy and both of the Hackbarth sisters recording home-runs in the 3rd inning giving the sun devils a 7-2 lead which they would not give up. The sun devils would score another five runs to Oregon’s two runs in the remaining innings, which led to a run-rule decision after the bottom of the 6th giving the sun devils the win and the series sweep by a score of 12-4 .

Dail, who started all three games in this series, was once again off, with Arizona State’s offense recording seven runs on six hits, before she was eventually pulled before the third inning finished.

However, senior third base player Cherish Burks finished her final game as a duck strong, going 3-3 with two doubles, two RBIs and a single.  

Oregon finishes the regular season with a final record of 22-30 and a Pac-12 record of 5-18. The ducks looks towards next season as the team will try to improve from an up-and-down 2019 season.
