By Charles Martindale Under familiar cloudy skies at the Hamlin Sports Complex, the Bushnell Beacons began a seven games in seven days stretch, starting with the visiting Linfield Wildcats. Despite entering the game at 11-37, and playing in a non-conference game, Bushnell seemed up to the challenge of a D3 opponent at first, leading after four and staying competitive after a rough fifth inning, but their lack of depth led to what head coach Tommy Richards described as “death by self inflicted wounds”. Bushnell starter Caleb Watson retired the Wildcats in quick order to begin the game, and a pair of Beacons reached in the bottom half of the first, but Bushnell came away empty handed thanks in part to a caught stealing with nobody out. In the following half inning, Linfield took advantage of some control issues from Watson, putting a pair of Wildcats in scoring position with two away for Ethan Rhoads, but Watson was able to induce a groundout to shortstop Liam Kerr to… Read More

The Oregon Ducks (20-10) dropped the final game of their weekend series against UCLA (29-4) Sunday at Jane Sanders Stadium by a score of 6-2. Both teams entered Sunday winning one match apiece in the previous two games of the series. A series win would’ve been big for both teams coming into the series ranked in the top 20 nationally. UCLA eventually pulled it out after scoring three runs in the 7th inning after a long scoreless stalemate since Oregon tied the game in the third inning.

The scoring started in the top of the first when UCLA’s Jordan Woolery smacked an RBI double and Megan Grant had an RBI single to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead. Oregon responded…

In one of its most important games of the season, No. 18 Oregon (20-8, 3-4) upset No. 4 UCLA (27-4, 4-3) 3-0 in front of an electric home crowd on Friday night. Oregon was led by a dominant performance from Morgan Scott, who pitched a complete game for the Ducks, allowing 0 runs and just 2 hits against one of the most potent offenses in the nation. She was helped by strong outings by Terra McGowan and Paige Sinicki on the offensive side of the ball, with each recording one run and at least 1 RBI to accompany batting averages over .500 on the night. The score could’ve been higher, but UCLA managed to lock it down in the bottom of the fifth with runners on second and third.

Megan Faraimo led the charge for the Bruins, recording 6 strikeouts against 26 batters. She allowed just one earned run on the night, as two of Oregon’s scorers reached base by fielder’s choice and an error. Rachel Cid had a strong game in her return to the Jane, though she…
