Kleist Pitches Oregon Past Kentucky in Game 1 of the Super Regionals
The Oregon Duck Softball team took down Kentucky 4-0 on Friday afternoon, taking a 1-0 advantage in the best-of-three Super Regional series. Megan Kleist set the tone for Oregon, pitching a complete game and surrendering only three hits while striking out eight as Kentucky failed to convert any offense. Gwen Svekis gave the Ducks the lead in the bottom of the third on a RBI single and that's all it would take, though Oregon pushed across three more runs in the sixth to solidify the win. The Ducks now sit just one victory away from advancing to the 2017 Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City, and will take on Kentucky tomorrow in Game 2 of the Super Regionals. Listen below to a full game story and the postgame interviews from both Oregon and Kentucky.

BSB: UCLA Holds Ducks to Four-Hit Shutout, 6-0
The Oregon Ducks did not have a runner reach second base until the ninth inning. With two potential MLB first-rounders (UCLA's Griffin Canning and Oregon's David Peterson) taking the mound, the hits for both offenses would be few-and-far-between. It would be a matter of who made the most mistakes and at what point could those mistakes come back to hurt the team. Canning had all the answers for the Ducks offense going the full nine innings, accumulating 10 strikeouts, and surrendering only four hits. David Peterson's final start at PK Park becomes another loss and an inconsequential smudge on what would be considered a storybook book season for the six-foot-six southpaw. The Ducks will play the Bruins tomorrow at 6pm at PK Park.
