Ducks finish with wins
By Paul Danzer

Third baseman Katie Hickie stung Lewis &
Clark with a game winning single in the first game,
and then rubbed it in with a triple in the second, as
the Oregon women's softball team ended its
season on an up beat Saturday.
The Ducks came from behind with a dramatic
two-out rally in the opener to post a 3-2 win, then
buried the Pioneers in the second game 12-2.
Saturday’s sweep, coupled with a 4-0 shutout of
Chemekata Community College on Friday, en
abled the Ducks to finish 9-13 to match last year’s
win total
It looked like the Ducks would never get a
shot at win No. 9. as Lewis & Clark scored two
runs on a bases-loaded two-out single by Mary
Hull in the sixth inning of Saturday's opener to
take a 2-1 lead
The score was still 2-1 with two outs in the
bottom of the seventh when June Liu and Ste
phanie Heisler drew back-to-back walks off LC
pitcher Pam Ramsey Hickey then stepped up and
drove a 1-1 pitch past the third baseman which
the left fielder misplayed allowing two runs
"I was looking for the outside pitch the whole
game and they kept throwing them inside." said
Hickey, who scored the Ducks' first run in the
third. “So, I got a heavier bat and just tried to hit it
past the third baseman."
The Ducks didn’t mess around in the second
game. Oregon pounded LC pitcher Ev Harding for
eight runs on four hits and three errors in the
home half of the first to take an 8-1 lead
The Ducks coasted after that, adding two
runs in the third and one each in the fourth and
fifth Hickie rang out the season with a blast over
the left fielder's head for the Ducks' last hit, and
Liu, a senior, made the last putout of the season
and her career to end the game
Janet Wright got the win on the mound and
fellow freshman Kallyn Storz got a save for a
birthday present, pitching the last two innings.
Also getting a chance to show her stuff was
assistant coach Jackie Brown who ran the team
as head coach Charles Sylvester played spectator
Saturday
The Ducks' other senior, shortstop Vicki
Hogan, ended her career Friday by going 2-for-2
at the plate with a single, triple, and a third inning
RBI as Oregon scored three runs to put the Chiefs
away
Heisler was never really in trouble on the
mound Friday as she shutout Chemekata, col
lecting the first of her two weekend wins The
second game with Chemekata was cancelled
because the Chiefs other pitcher was injured

It was a weekend of lifetime
bests for many of the Ducks,
something that had happened
during the dual-meet season on
only rare occasions
Down in Modesto. Calif..
Dean Crouser was knocking off

American record-holder Brian
Oldfield and Olympian Al

an impressive win to what has
been an undefeated season
thus far
Then there was junior-college
transfer George Walcott, known
more for his abilities in the 100
and 200 meters He looked im
pressive winning the 100 in
10 49, a Twilight meet record,
but he was stunning in taking
the 400 in a quick 46.8
