The Oregon softball team will attempt to end
Its season on a positive note as it enters the home
stretch of the season with 10 games in five days.
The Ducks. 14-28 overall and 1-7 in NorPac
Conference play, will play a pair of
doubleheaders with Oregon State University this
weekend — at Corvallis Saturday in a pair of Nor
Pac counting games, and at Oregon field at 1
p.m. Sunday. : :
"We set some goals on what we should do
earlier this year,” coach Teresa Wilson says. "We
picker! out the games we thought we should win
during the remainder of the season. It's important
to end on a positive note so.we can build for next
season.” • = • -*
The Ducks should have a little momentum
going into the games with the Heavers since they
won the first game of a doubleheader with
Portland State University to break a nine-game
losing streak. The second game of the twin bill
was rallied out.' ■
Oregon was scheduled to play a
doubleheader with OSU last Saturday and Tues
day. but .both games were washed out by rain.
The games' on Sunday with the Heavers will lie
makeups.. /
The rai.noiits may have been a blessing in
disguise .as .Oregon got a chance to rest its wound
ed bodies after a long tCalifornia trip
.' ' "We’ve dieen playing with eight and a half
player* .siit.ce we got back frem California."
Wilson says.
Paige Maks has two stress fractures but.
because she wants to play and there’s only a week
left in the season, the doctor agreed to allow Maks
to finish out 'the season before putting her in a
uist. Wilson says
With only nine players available to her.
Wilson has been forced to juggle the lineup as
well as the positions of some of her players. She is
impressed with the way they have responded.
“They have become oriented to their new
positions," Wilson says. “I had to move Kristi
Okuhara to shortstop. Christi Long to third, and
Susan tJhrich to second. They're playing posi
tions they haven't played all year, and doing a
real good job adjusting. That extra week has given
them a chance to familiarize themselves with
their new positions.".. • .
Wilson also is iihpressed. wilh .how her
players adjusted to: the hardships they faced
throughout the'year. -- - 'r. • :-;
“They support each'other real well,” Wilson
says. "They've been workingespecially .hard.,
keeping each other up. Thefr spirits/are "high: and
they have been super iuppOrtiyoof each*"other.V' -
A It hough t he Oucks 'rnay; ha ve- lost some of
the momentum they0gained from the victory over
PSU. Wilson isn’t concerned ; -• -y ... >
"It was nice to get back on the winning
track." Wilson says. "We'needed boih mornen
tum and rest, but especially''the rest arid a chahce
to.heal our wounds.*';

The games with (JSlf. however, are the big
gest ones for the Ducks. ; ■ '
"Every time we’ve played them it’s been real
close." says Wilson' of the' two games with the
Heavers. "If a few breaks had gone the other way
we might have won. They’re a strong-hitting
team and wo want to beat them more than ever to
end our season on a positive note."
