After a sweep of then-No. 9 Arizona, Oregon softball moved up from No. 5 to No. 3 in this week's NFCA Poll and now travel to the desert to take on another top-10 team, the No. 7 Arizona State Sun Devils. The Ducks swept Arizona State a year ago but behind impressive left handed pitcher Giselle Juarez, the Sun Devils are much improved.

Oregon baseball suffered perhaps their toughest loss of the season on Monday night, losing 9-7 in 11 innings to Portland after a seemingly miraculous comeback. The Ducks trailed 2-0 after a half inning, then 6-3 after two and a half innings, and finally were down 7-6 with two outs in the ninth before Kenyan Yovan delivered a saving grace solo shot to left field. However, Oregon couldn't recover from a 2-run 11th inning by the Pilots, who outhit the Ducks 15-8 a day after UO couldn't muster a single hit against Washington State. Connor Knutson notched the win for Portland (11-19), while reliever Ryne Nelson (1.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K) received the loss. Oregon moves to 18-13 on the year and have now suffered back-to-back losses as their sights move to a weekend series in Seattle against Washington GAME STORY (by Matt Tyra)… Read More

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. Game Story (by Jonathan Rifkind)… Read More

Oregon and Washington State faced off for game 3 on Sunday after the Ducks took the first two games on Friday. In what turned out to be a sunny day, that didn't turn out to be the case for the Ducks. Scotty Sunitsch took the mound for Washington State and controlled the game from start to finish. Oregon got on base four times total, but all from walks as Sunitsch earned the no hitter.  In Oregon Baseball history, this is the first time the Ducks have been no hit according to their records. Oregon couldn't find consistent pitching throughout the entire game, with four different pitchers taking the mound. Kolby Somers got the start and pitched four strong innings, but in the fifth inning gave up three straight singles and an rbi triple, leading to James Acuna relieving him. From there, the most innings any Duck pitcher went was 2.1. Ultimately, Oregon gave up 9 hits and 7 runs with some crucial fielding mistakes, including two deep hits that were just out of reach for the Oregon… Read More
