Cougars offer baseball squad
last chance in division race
Oregon’s men’s baseball
team will have its backs to the
wall this weekend when they
host to Washington State
University for a four-game ser
ies at Howe Field.
There's no “next series" for
the Ducks anymore. Oregon
holds a 1-8 Northern Division
record, 5Vz games behind
league-leading Washington,
and the Ducks must sweep the
Cougars to have any real
chance in the division race.
"I’m not willing to concede
that we’re out of this," says
coach Mel Krause. “We could
conceivably go 8-8. And it’s still
possible that all three of the
other teams could have more
than eight losses Until we re
mathematically eliminated, I
refuse to give up."
Krause’s troops will be facing
a WSU squad that is having a
down year despite a 6-4 confer
ence record. “They’re not as
powerful a team as they have
been in the past," says Krause
of the perennial Northern Divi
sion winners. The Cougars have
a 20-22 record after being
ranked as high as fourth in the
nation last year.
Oregon is coming off an 11-3
victory over Lewis & Clark in
which they pounded out 16 hits.
The win gave Oregon a 15-13
season record and some
momentum going into the series
opener with the Cougars.
Today’s first game, slated to
begin at 1 p.m., will conclude a
suspended game that was tied
4-4 after nine innings in Pull
man, followed immediately by
the second game. Saturday’s
doubleheader will begin at 1
p.m.

Softball team takes on Beavers
No one on Oregon s softball
team checks out the stats
before the game. That's the
policy, says coach John Feen
ey.
“We just take them as they
come.”
Today, the softball team will
take on Oregon State in a dou
ble-header in Corvallis, and the
rule hasn’t changed. “It doesn’t
matter what their stats are,”
says Feeney. “They have to
prove them to us when they get
on the field.”
The no-peeking rule has
helped the women's softball
team get through the rough
spots tnis season, i-eeney says.
And there have been plenty of
them.
The Ducks have only one
pitcher, Terri Anderson, and
she can only pitch one game
before her arm gets sore. “That
puts us in a bad position for
double-headers," he says.
For the second game the
Ducks call upon Marcy Sowa,
who usually plays first base.
After that “we have nothing,”
Feeney says.
Oregon, 6-11 this season
after falling 1 -0 to Portland State
Wednesday, will face a tough
Beaver squad that is batting
uver .ouu aria nas several
pitchers to call on.
“They’re a tough team,’’ says
Feeney. "They’ve got the best
record now in the state and
know how to put hits together.”
The Ducks have only one
batter above the .300 mark. The
lack of hits has really hurt,
Feeney says. “We’ve got to start
connecting with the ball.”
While the offense is weak,
Oregon’s defense is its
strength, he says. “We can hold
them off, if we can pick up the
hits — and runs.”
The double-header’s first
game will start at 2:30 p.m.
