In the first game, Oregon led No.24 Missouri by one entering the fifth inning when Lauren Lindvall stepped to the plate. With two runners on, Lindvall hit a home run over left field to give Oregon a 6-2 lead. Danica Mercado drove in Shannon Rhodes moments later, and the Ducks led 7-2.
Megan Kleist shutout Missouri in the final two innings to grab the win.
Kleist (6-0) completed the game allowing five hits, two earned runs on five walks and one strikeout.
Oregon’s previous two runs came from one in the first inning and two in the second inning. Nikki Udria singled to center to drive in Mercado to give Oregon the 1-0 lead. One inning later, Lindvall got her first RBI when she singled to right field and Haley Cruse scored. Then, Gwen Svekis singled to left to drive in Alexis Mack.
Lindvall ended the game 2-of-4 with four RBIs and a home run. Mercado also performed well offensively, going 3-of-4 with one RBI.
Oregon scored seven runs on 11 hits.
In game two, the Ducks run-ruled the Butler Bulldogs.
