SB | Bats heat up late for Oregon to propel them past Sacramento State
Story by: Ryan Milano
The Ducks were given an unexpected run for their money on Sunday morning against the Sacramento State Hornets but ended up closing out the game in run-rule walk-off fashion. Headed into the bottom of the 5th, the game was knotted at 0 behind two dominant pitching performances. Raegan Breedlove was filthy in the circle for Oregon, working through 5 shutout innings, allowing only 3 total baserunners. On the other side, Sac St. Freshman Kelsey Alcantara kept pace with the Ducks taking a shutout of her own into the bottom of the 5th frame.
In the 5th, it looked like Alcantara might get out of another inning, but Haley Cruse had different ideas. With 2 outs and a runner in scoring position, Cruse notched a single into right and opened the flood gates for Oregon. The Ducks capitalized on a 2-out rally off an Allee Bunker 2 RBI single to put up 3 runs in the frame.
The Ducks rode off that same momentum in the 6th. Mya…

By: Xaiver Aguiar
The Ducks danced with the Devils on a chilly Friday night from Eugene, Oregon. After 110 minutes of action, the game ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams wishing they had gotten a better result. The game took a while to get going, but when it did, it didn't disappoint.
Oregon dominated the first-half possession as Arizona State sat back and forced the Ducks to the side of the field. The Sun Devils gameplan was clear: wait for Oregon to make a mistake and create a strong counterattack. The issue for ASU was they couldn't generate any semblance of build-up play on the counter. It looked like that wouldn't matter, though, as off a set piece Duck goalie Leah Freeman came off her line to snag the ball but collided with an ASU attacker. While on the ground, Freeman put her hands up and made a miraculous save, which will feature on highlight reels for the rest of her Oregon career.

Oregon defeated Oregon State 80-67 Sunday night at Gill Coliseum to be crowned PAC-12 regular-season champions. Oregon ended the season winning 10 of 11 and it was never in doubt tonight as Oregon had the lead for every second after Will Richardson’s opening bucket. Richardson was blistering hot through the first 20 minutes going 5-5 from three with 17 points, eventually hitting a new career-high with 22. With the Ducks shooting 57% from the field and 65% from three it was natural that five Ducks scored in double digits: Richardson-22, Omoruyi-18, Williams-14, Figueroa-10, Duarte-10. Oregon was full of energy tonight and in an empty Gill Coliseum, Oregon felt like the home team from the tip.
The second half almost felt like a formality, Oregon State would pull it within single digits several times but almost on cue, Oregon would drill a three to make it a double-digit affair. The 15 threes marked a season-high for the Ducks and their most since 2017. After being picked…
