Softball
The Ducks may have had their win streak snapped, but they are still rolling after winning four of their five games at the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic last weekend. After opening with a 3-0 win over No. 25 Auburn, the Ducks had their 15-game winning streak snapped by the No. 1 Florida Gators in a 2-1 extra innings loss. In the eighth inning, the Gators managed to use small ball tactics to load up the bases off a sacrifice bunt, a walk and a stolen base. With the bases loaded, a wild pitch from Cheridan Hawkins allowed the Gators to score the eventual winning run. Oregon advanced a runner to third base on a sacrifice bunt, but a strikeout and fly out ended the game. Oregon would bounce back with a pair of shutouts against Bradley and Illinois State and a run rule victory over Maryland. Next up for the Ducks is the Rainbow Wahine Classic next week in Honolulu.
