Who: No. 12 Oregon vs. No. 10 Stanford
What: Pac-10 Softball Series
Where: Howe Field
When: Friday (6 p.m.), Saturday (2 p.m.) and Sunday (noon)
Summary: The 12th-ranked Ducks picked up more momentum with a series win over national power Arizona last weekend in Tucson, while the Cardinal enter the game fresh off a series win over Washington and a midweek throttling of Santa Clara on Tuesday. When Oregon traveled to Palo Alto last season, Stanford took all three games to close out the Pac-10 season, but they were without the services of starting pitcher Teagan Gerhart. Gerhart (20-8) has been a force this season with 197 strikeouts against 52 walks, and will likely find herself in a pitchers’ duel with Oregon’s Jessica Moore (18-7).@@http://www.goducks.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPSID=4374&SPID=245&DB_OEM_ID=500&KEY=&Q_SEASON=2009@@@@http://www.pac-10.org/portals/7/images/softball/stats/HTML/lgsumm.htm@@
