sports Ducks split OSU, play today - maybe By MIKE GRADY Of the Emerald CORVALLIS — After losing the first game 5-2 against Oregon State Sunday, Oregon scored three runs in the eighth inning of the nightcap to post a 5-4 victory. The win leaves the Ducks with a 5-2 won-loss record in Pac-8 northern Division play, one-half game behind streaking Washing ton State. The Cougars exploded on helpless Washington in Seattle Sunday, pounding the Huskies 9-4 and 20-2 in a doubleheader. The win leaves the Ducks with a 5-2 league won-loss record and at least the share of first place in the Northern Division with Washing ton State. WSU was 3-2 going into a double header with Washington on Sunday. Anything less than a Cougar sweep in Seattle will put Oregon alone at the top for the third straight weekend. Three OSU errors, three Oregon singles and a succcessful suicide squeeze play were the fac tors for Oregon in the decisive eighth inning. Sophomore Tom Dodd, whose first inning home ru« in the opening game accounted for the only Duck runs in that loss, opened the inning with a single to rightfietd. Designated hitter Ron Sloy fol lowed with ahard ground ball to OSU second baseman Mike Gianotti, who let the ball get by him for an error. Steve Elam, at tempting to move both runners into scoring position with a sac rifice bunt, loaded the bases by pushing the ball between the pitcher and the charging third baseman. With the Beaver infield playing in to cut off the run, Kevin Tabler pushed a ground ball Dast the div ing Gianotti to score both Dodd and Sloy. For Tabler, it was his second hit and second and third runs batted in for the game — the first game he’d started since injur ing his back two weeks ago. Glen Baggerly then came up with what turned out to be the win ning run. With Elam steaming down the line from third, Baggerly dumped a bunt back at the pitcher, Eric Sallee, the only Beaver star ter who hadn’t lost a game on the mound this year, fielded the ball cleanly but couldn’t make the play at the plate. He watched as Elam crossed the plate for the fifth Oregon run and then threw to first to get Baggerly. The Beavers scored a run in their half of the inning to pull within two, but the real fireworks didn’t get off until the last of the ninth — OSU’s last chance. Oregon freshman Dean Kegler, who had cruised through the first eight innings by scattering four J-V.

Miller scored on McNair’s hit and Oregon Coach Mel Krause decided to pull Kegler in favor of right handed releiver John Lazarich. Lazarich proved to be quite ef fective, getting Rich Harper and Dan Pearson, the Beaver’s num bers four and five hitters to hit weak fly balls to the outfield. Baggerly, who had brought in the winning run an inning earlier, then ended the game with an out standing play from his shortstop position. Oregon State’s Jeff Boyd hit what appeared to be an infield single up the middle. Baggerly however, scooped the ball upon a short hop off of second base and threw to first base to nip Boyd. Afterward, Krause was quick to praise the game-ending play by Baggerly and the pitching perfor mance of Kegler’s. “I guess there’s gonna be no such thing as an easy game for us,” Krause said. “Every weekend looks like it's gonna be the same way.” “We haven’t played in a week, but at times it looked like we hadn’t played in three weeks,” Krause explained about defensive lapses that plagued Oregon throughout both games. “In the first game, we played poorly. And then in the second game we gave them their first two runs.” A single nine inning game be tween the two teams is scheduled for Monday at 3 p.m. at Howe Field. The game is a make-up from Friday’s rainout. First Game Oregon 200 000 0 — 2 5 2 OSU 211 010 x —56 1 Fisher Richardson (4) and Nelson; Berry and Harper W-Berry, 5-2. L-Fisher. 2-4.

No one in the Duck outfield had luck either, as Gianotti scored on the three-base error. The Ducks won the nightcap, though, 5-4. Netters have perfect weekend By TIM LEONARD Of the Emerald The Oregon women's tennis team had an easy time of it on Friday as it blanked the University of Puget Sound 9-0 but it had to work a little harder on Saturday to defeat Southern Oregon State College by the same 9-0 score in running its season mark to 8-3. Against Puget Sound two women netters came from behind to capture their singles matches. Everyone else rolled through their competition. Ann Thompson, brought up from the junior varsity to replace Patty Marihart at number six, fought back from a 4-2 deficit in the first set to win it 7-5. She breezed through the second 6-1. Patti Layton, playing number two, took her first set 6-2 but had to overcome a 4-2 score in the sec ond to win it 7-5. The three dou bles teams lost only four games between them in routinq Puqet Sound. The competition was tougher on Saturday. Helen Vozenilek lost her opening set to Sally Boyer but came on strong to take the match with scores of 6-2 and 6-4.
