Oregon Softball is heading back to the Women's College World Series for the second straight year and their fourth time in five years because of an 11-1 mercy rule victory over the Kentucky Wildcats Saturday night.

Three at bats later, senior Jenna Lilley laced a single down the first base line to score Mia Camuso. Finally with the bases loaded, another senior, DJ Sanders, unleashed on a 1-0 fastball and hit a grand slam over the left-centerfield wall. With a comfortable 7-0 lead after two full innings, Oregon continued to pile on scoring four more runs in the third and fourth innings. In Gwen Svekis's last at-bat in Jane Sanders Stadium, she hit her fourth career triple to the right field wall to score DJ Sanders and Alexis Mack.

The record breaking came in bunches today at the final day of the Prefontaine Classic held at Historic Hayward Field. Day two picked up right where day one left off, in record breaking fashion. Starting with the women's pole vault where Jennifer Shur who set a meet record with a vault of 15-11 feet, a record that hadn't been broken since 2002. That was not the only record breaking performance for the women. Caster Semenya of South Africa set the meet record, stadium record, and ran the fastest time on American soil with a time of 1:55.92 in the women's 800 meter. The men side had an historic day as well. It started with Ronnie Baker in the men's 100 meter dash. Baker set a meet record and a season best time of 9.78 in the 100 meter. Benjamin Kigen of Kenya ran a personal best and fastest time in the world this year in the men's 3000 meter steeple chase with a time of 8:09.07. Noah Lyles followed with a performance in the men's 200 meter where he set personal best and now world leading… Continue with T&F | Ryan Crouser, Jennifer Shur Highlight Record Breaking Final Day of Pre Classic.

After coming off a 10-2 loss in game one on Thursday night, Oregon wins game two in dramatic fashion 2-1. Oregon struck first, scoring off a Jonny DeLuca RBI double in the bottom of the fourth. The rest of the game was relatively slow for both teams, despite Oregon's seven hits on the night, they weren't able to capitalize. Later in the same inning as the DeLuca double, only one out was recorded with the bases loaded and Ray Soderman and Jason Drees struck out back-to-back. The Wildcats didn't record their first hit of the night until the top of the seventh inning when Cesar Salazar hit a solo shot over the right field wall, his third home run of the series. That Salazar home run knotted the game up at one run a piece, but it didn't last long, because in the bottom of the seventh Kyle Kasser hit a RBI single to right center that drove in the eventual game winning run. Sparks flew in the ninth inning as the Wildcats had the bases loaded with no outs on the board. Kenyon Yovan decided… Continue with BSB | Oregon Defeats Arizona in a Nail-biter to Even the Series.
