Despite giving up 12 hits and three runs in the first inning, the Ducks were able to come back and win against No. 16 Stanford Thursday night. After taking the game to extra innings, left fielder Lovena Chaput’s RBI double scored right fielder Neena Bryant for the game-winning run that pitcher Alicia Cook was able to hold on to for the complete-game win.
The win marks a pair of doubles for Oregon – the second time this season they’ve won two Pacific-10 Conference games in a row, and the second consecutive season they’ve taken the season series from Stanford. Thursday night’s win puts them at 2-1 over the Cardinal this year.
Stanford came out to a quick 3-0 start in the first inning, and Oregon fought back to make it 4-3 after two. Sari-Jane Jenkins scored beating out a play at the plate after a bunt, knotting the scoreboard for good until extra innings.
Oregon finishes its regular season with two games against Cal, today at 1 p.m. and Saturday at 11:30 a.m. in Berkeley. The Ducks will learn their NCAA Regional playoff fate Sunday at 12 p.m. with the selections to be announced on ESPN News.
