Oregon Softball (36-15, 13-10) swept Friday’s doubleheader in Berkeley, including a 4-1 win in game one and a 9-3 victory in game two. 

Brooke Yanez (3.2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 6Ks) earned her 20th win of the season in game one after relieving Samaria Diaz  (3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 6 Ks) in the third inning. Oregon was lead offensively by Rachel Cid, who went 2-3 at the plate with an RBI, and Deijah Pangileenan, who was hit by a pitch and launched her first home run of the season. 

In game two, Oregon jumped out to a four-run lead, before Cal sliced the lead in half in the bottom of the 3rd on a Maddie Bishop home run to right-center. From there, Oregon poured it on with a five-spot in the 6th inning, including back-to-back home runs from Rachel Cid (6) and Shaye Bowden (5). Makenna Kliethermes picked up the win to improve to 8-6 this season (3.1, 3 ER, 4 Ks) and Reagan Breedlove (3.1, 3 H, 1 ER) pitched well in relief.

#11 Oregon Baseball (30-11) defeated Washington (17-24) 9-3, completing the series sweep of the Huskies. Oregon, now 14-7 in conference, grabbed their second PAC-12 sweep of the season after doing so against Oregon State a month. With few runs to start games this weekend, Oregon and Washington changed that: Noah Hsue was brought home via an error in the first, Gabe Matthews responded for Oregon with a solo homer, then in the top of the second with zero outs designated hitter Michael Brown crushed a ball over the wall in left-center giving Washington a 2-1 lead.

Similar to Saturday’s game when Washington had an early lead, Oregon soon dominated the middle innings. Kenyon Yovan went 2-5 this afternoon including a solo shot in the fourth to tie up the affair. The fifth inning is where it exploded for Oregon putting up five runs. Yovan again got the scoring going with a single to left field driving in Gavin Grant. Moments later Oregon had…

Oregon Softball is now 33-14 overall and 11-9 in the PAC-12, while Arizona is now 34-10 overall, 11-7 in the conference after Saturday's doubleheader against the Wildcats. The Ducks will carry a 2-1 series lead into the finale Sunday afternoon, knowing that they at least have a series split against a very strong Arizona team.

Game 1 was a 1-0 pitchers duel between Brooke Yanez and Alyssa Denham, with only 10 hits given up between the two of them. Yanez struck out 12 batters, her best performance since the UCLA series. She got herself out of multiple tough situations with Arizona runners in scoring positions through strikeouts and groundouts, including once in the 2nd after giving up a leadoff triple. 5th inning back to back doubles made the difference for the Ducks, one being from Deijah Pangilinan, her first extra-base hit of the season. The other was from Haley Cruse, who finished the game 3-3, just a home run short of the…

Saturday afternoon the Oregon Ducks (28-11) faced off against the Washington Huskies (17-22) in game two of their three game series this weekend. It was a sluggish start from the Ducks offensively, who only got three hits in the first six innings, however a rally in the seventh lead to the 5-1 victory. 

            The rally was led by Sophomore Outfielder Tanner Smith who got things rocking for the Ducks with a three-run homer. The Ducks efforts were saw through in the eighth by an RBI triple from Josh Kasevich and a RBI double from Sam Olsson to push the Ducks run total to five. 

Kolby Somers came to relief in the eighth and earned the Save. Here’s what todays closer had to say about the Duck’s resiliency, “I think we are in a really good spot right now, it doesn’t matter if we’re down 5,10 runs, we always believe we are going to win the game until the very last out, that’s what makes this…
