Oregon’s mound was at work once again as they took on the Missouri State Bears. Elise Sokolsky earned the win after pitching five innings and allowing only 3 hits while getting 3 strikeouts.

Stevie Hansen closed out the final two innings for the Ducks and earned 4 strikeouts, letting the Bears get just 1 hit off of her.

Without any big homers, the Ducks pieced together their 9 runs throughout the game, four of which came in the final inning.

The continuation of Oregon’s hot bats is hopefully a preview of a high-scoring and successful season.
