2/11/2022 6:55:00 PM | Softball
NORTHRIDGE, Calif.—No. 17/18 Oregon swept a doubleheader from CSUN in softball action Friday afternoon at Matador Diamond.
GAME 1
Oregon defeated CSUN 9-3 in the opener. Ariel Gomez led off the CSUN first with an opposite field single down the left field line. Jaymi Steward followed with an infield single that went of Jordan Dail's glove in the circle. Dail retired the next three CSUN batters in order to get out of the inning.
Ariel Carlson reached on an error to begin the Oregon second. Paige Sinicki singled. Both runners moved up a base on a KK Humphreys ground out to second. Allison Benning reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases. Jasmine Williams' fouled out to right, but the ball was deep enough to plate Carlson. Hannah Galey grounded out to third to end the frame.
Terra McGowan led of the Ducks' third with a double to right center. Hanna Delgado's opposite field single to left advanced McGowan to third. Delgado stole second. Alllee Bunker walked to load the bases. Carlson flew out to center, but the ball wasn't deep enough for the runners to attempt to move up a base. Sinicki grounded into a 4-2 fielder's choice for the second out. Humphreys grounded out to Jamerson to keep the score at 1-0.
Galey doubled to center with two outs in the top of the fourth. McGowan followed with a double to left center to drive in Galey for Oregon's second run. Kennedi Sorensen walked to lead off the Matadors' fourth. Alexis Lemus grounded into a 3-6 fielders' choice but she reached first base safely. Aaliyah Swan struck out. Lemus would steal second before Paloma Usquiano grounded out to short to end the inning.
Bunker opened the Oregon fifth with a single through the left side. Carlson reached on a fielder's choice to third to give the Ducks runners on first and second. Bunker was thrown out by Sorensen attempting to steal third. Carlson moved to second on the play. Sinicki singled up the middle to plate Carlson but was thrown out at second attempting to advance on the throw home.
A McGowan single in the sixth drove in the fourth Oregon run. Gomez was hit by a pitch to lead off the sixth. She advanced to second on a Steward ground out to second. Sorensen would cut the lead in half when she smacked a two-run home run to left center. Swan reached on an error with two outs in the sixth. Uquiano worked the count to 3-2 against Dail. A nine-pitch at-bat resulted in Usquiano grounding out to third to end the inning.
Sinicki's bunt single with one out in the top of the seventh was her third hit of the game. Pinch-hitter Karissa Ornelas grounded out to first as Sinicki advanced to second. Pinch-hitter Kate Howard walked. Williams singled in Sinicki. Galey singled to center to score pinch-runner Kedre Luschar. McGowan doubled to right center to plate two more for the Ducks. Delgado's RBI single made it 9-2.
Pinch-hitter Alexa Landeros doubled with one out in the bottom of the seventh off of Makenna Kliethermes who came on in relief in the seventh. A passed ball and a wild pitch allowed Landeros to score.
McGowan went 4-for-5 with four RBI. Sinicki went 3-for-4. Dail retired nine in a row after issuing the two hits to open the game. She gave up three hits in six innings, struck out six and walked one. The Oregon pitchers combined on a four-hitter. Sorensen added a walk to her 1-for-2 performance.
GAME 2
The Ducks (3-0) defeated CSUN 16-0 in five innings. Oregon scored four in the first, seven in the second, three in the third, and two in the fifth.
Carlson was 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs scored for the Ducks. Vallery Wong and Hanna Delgado posted two hits apiece. Sinicki scored three times and drove in two runs. Sami Garcia recorded the only two hits for the Matadors, a single and a triple off Oregon pitchers Stevie Hanson and Raegan Breedlove.
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH CHARLOTTE MORGAN
"I thought we did some really good things in the first game. We stayed away from the big inning until the seventh when we let five runs score. I told the team our offensive adjustments came a little too late in the game."
"The second game got away from us early. You can't give good teams like Oregon extra chances with errors. Sami did a really nice job and gave us a chance with her two hits. We are a young team that needs a time to develop, and we will be fine. Every day we can build and peak at the right time."
