Tough, close losses continued to be the theme of Pac-12 play for the Ducks on Sunday afternoon, as the flock dropped the third game of its home-opening series to the Stanford Cardinal to the tune of a 3-2 loss following a series full of 1- and 2-run games. Despite the losses, No. 19 Oregon (19-8, 2-4) has been anything but disappointing in conference play thus far. Five of its six games in the Pac-12 have been decided by two or fewer runs against very strong opponents, namely then-No. 10 Washington last weekend and No. 7 Stanford this weekend.

Defenses shined bright throughout the matchup, and the showdown on the mounds between Stevie Hansen and Alana Vawter continued to live up to its billing. Stanford’s Vawter pitched a complete 7 innings and allowed two runs, though it certainly could’ve been more if not for stellar play from second base River Mahler. With a runner on third and just one out in the frame, Vallery Wong sent a blistering line…

The Ducks needed a win today against #7 Stanford is they wanted to still have a chance to win the series as yesterday they dropped game one against the Cardinal 1-3 in a extra inning thriller. Today's game had more of the same in the since that it was a back and forth defensive battle between the two teams. However Oregon in the end was able to make it out on top and take the game 2-1, here is how it happened.

Stanford got things going early off the rip as the first batter of the game
Gindlesperger got a single. Later on in the inning Kaneshiro had a single as well allowing Gindlesperger to advance to 3rd. She then went on to eventually score from 3rd on an error from Allee Bunker. The Ducks would be able to get out of the inning only allowing the one unearned run which would be Stanford's only run of the day. However the lead wouldn't last for long as in the bottom of the 1st the Ducks would get one right back…

EUGENE — No. 19 Oregon (18-7, 1-3) opened its first home series against No. 7 Stanford (23-2, 1-0) on Friday, and the Ducks looked like a completely different team than they did last weekend against Washington. Oregon put out a strong defensive performance, allowing just one run through seven innings of regulation play against a Stanford team that averages over five runs per game. Stanford’s bullpen will likely not allow the Ducks to put up 7-8 run performances like Washington did. Oregon ultimately fell to Stanford 3-1 in extra innings, but the team held its own against a very strong opponent. Oregon will need more of that defense to succeed later this weekend, but the offense will need to step up to give it a chance.

“I think it’s nice to keep runs off the board, because that puts less pressure on our offense,” Oregon second base Allee Bunker said postgame. “Today we did keep those runs off the board until the eighth, and we just need to be…

It’s a huge weekend ahead for both the Ducks and Cardinal as PAC-12 play continues for Oregon at Jane Sanders Stadium on Friday. For the Ducks, they’ll be looking to win their first home series against another top-10 team in conference play. Oregon is 4-3 versus ranked teams and has a chance to improve that mark against Stanford who is currently on a 20-game win streak.

Oregon Offense:

The Ducks are led by their two seniors, Terra McGowan and Allee Bunker. McGowan leads the team in home runs with eight after hitting just 11 in her first three seasons for Oregon. On top of that, the redshirt senior is batting .367 with a .722 slugging percentage while going 13-22 (.591) with four homers and 12 RBIs over her last seven games. Bunker on the other hand has been the best contact hitter for this lineup with a .390 batting average that has included a team-leading eight doubles and just six strikeouts in 82 at-bats. The one…
