The bad news l-ridav fur the
Oregon softball loam was that it
only scored m one inning of
each game of a doubleheader
against (Iregon State
The good news was that Ka
(hello Taylor and Natasha
Dutnoski combined to shut-out
the Beavers for both games as
the Ducks ended a 10-game los
ing streak with a 3-0, 50 sweep
.it Howe field
TayIor (H-1 0) won hoth
games, picking up a complete
game, four-hit shutout in the
first and keeping the Beavers
off the scoreboard for four in
nings of the second before
Dutnoski came in to pitch three
scoreless innings and earn her
third save
Oregon State actually outhlt
the Ducks 10-0 for the two
games, hut Tracey Simmons'
two-out, three-run homer in the
bottom of the sixth inning
broke up a scoreless tie in the
first game In the second
again with two outs the
Ducks exploded lor five runs in
thi' third inning
Oregon (15-17 overall, d-d in
the Pacific -10 ( (inferenc e) had
seen its 115 record and No lf>
national ranking end as the
Ducks dropped 10 straight and
12 of 1-1 during a two-week
road trip
Oregon coac h I ami Brown
said the wins couldn't have
come soon enough lor the
Due ks
"They turned it around prut
t\ well," Brown said I'm
glad "
Oregon State dropped to 'IH
and 1-5.
Although the outcomes of
both games look decisive,
through five-end a half innings
of the fits! game nothing had
been decided
Taylor was lea ked in a pitch
ers' duel with the Beavers' top
hurler, Cheryl Keeder
And after Taylor sent Oregon
State down In order in the lop
of the sixth, the Ducks pic ked
up two ({clic k outs lifter Patty
Pyles reached on an error
‘This can be a
turning point in our
season.’
Tami Brown,
Ou'giV' so/tba1! axich
Llul Jennifer I'lpor singled in
keep Oregon's scoring lhre.it
alive, moving pinch runner
Lynn Kinnaman to third and
bringing Simmons, die Ducks'
senior catcher, to the plate
Simmons worked Turner for
a full count, and after fouling
off two straight pitches, lined
th(> next delivery over the left
field fence for her first homo
run of the season
Taylor had no trouble sealing
the a t) win, allowing a lead-off
walk in the seventh inning be
fore closing out the game by
throwing out Oregon Stale s
Missy Smith on a grounder
bock to the mound
"I was just looking for a good
strike to hit.'' Simmons said of
her game-winning blast "With
two outs and two strikes a big
flit is nice, but I was just look
tng for a base hit
"livery time you go to the
plate you're looking lo break
the game open In the sixth in
ning. it's just a little more
crunch time
Oregon State actually
matched Oregon's offense with
four hits, but Taylor got out of a
one out jam with a runner on
third base in the second inning
by striking out Kim Duckett
and getting Smith to pop out
The Heavers came out in the
six ond game try ing to quickly
end any thoughts Oregon may
have had about a second shut
out
The Heavers used two singles
and a sacrifice hit in the first
inning to move Kaquel Trujillo
to third fuse with two outs Hut
Taylor defused the threat by
getting Angel Miller to ground
out to third base
In the second Inning, the
Beavers loaded the bases on an
error, a base hit and an inton
tional walk, but Taylor again
