The Ducks came out hot against the Utes in their final home series of the regular season. Gwen Svekis hit a two-run homer in the first to break the tie. Thereafter, the Ducks tacked on three runs in the third, one in the fourth, and 2 in the sixth to win 8-0 via the run-rule. Katie Donovan threw all six innings for the Utes, earning six of the eight runs, walking four and striking out two. Her Oregon-counterpart, Megan Kleist, also went all six, allowing just two hits and totaling just one walk to go with five strikeouts. Haley Cruse led the way on offense for Oregon, going 2-3 with a single and her first home run of the season. The win puts Oregon in a tie with UCLA for the top spot in the Pac-12.

Following an emphatic sweep of then-no. 4 Washington up in Seattle, the no. 2 Oregon softball team returns to the Jane this weekend for a three-game series versus Utah in what will be their final regular season home stand of the year. With Sunday serving as the "senior day celebration," despite the strong likelihood that the Ducks will host at least one weekend of postseason softball later this month, Oregon will honor four seniors: Gwen Svekis, Jenna Lilley, DJ Sanders and Lauren Lindvall. After the impressive previous weekend, the Ducks have no time to relax in the race for the PAC-12 championship, which currently features Oregon knotted at the top of the standings with rival UCLA at 15-3 in conference play. Ahead of the exciting and essential weekend for Oregon, head coach Mike White and his seniors spoke with the media on Wednesday afternoon and you can listen their interviews in full below.

Coming off Oregon's first game three Pac-12 win Sunday against USC, it was the perfect time to build momentum, because number six rival the Oregon State Beavers came to town on Tuesday. The momentum though wasn't enough as OSU defeated UO 4-3 in a game dominated by the Beaver pitching staff. Kevin Abel leading that group, pitching over six innings, allowing zero runs, and only one hit. The Ducks put together a mere two hits on the night, one coming from DH Kenyon Yovan who hit a three run home run in the first inning, the only three runs the Ducks scored all night. With the help of some poor Oregon pitching that walked OSU batters around the bases, the Beavers put together six hits including a Trevor Larnach solo home run in the second. The Ducks now try to hold their heads high as they head to California to face off against UC Irvine in a three game series beginning on Friday.
