After outscoring No. 7 Arizona State 14-1 through two games, No. 3 Oregon softball could not score once and mustered just three hits in a 4-0 defeat on Sunday afternoon in Tempe, Arizona.

No. 3 Oregon softball crushed six home runs en route to a 9-1 victory over No. 7 Arizona State on Saturday night in Tempe, Arizona. The Ducks recorded 13 hits (nine of which were extra base hits) and scored in five of the team's seven offensive innings while starting pitcher Miranda Elish allowed just one run on four hits while striking out 12 Sun Devils and walking none. The win is Oregon's eighth in a row and with the Washington Huskies idle again on Saturday due to rain, the Ducks are now a half game back of first place in the Pac-12 standings at 9-2.
