Cook is so vital to the team’s success, Gamez said, that she may even be called upon to pitch in the later in nings of Game 2 on Saturday. Despite Oregon’s improved pitching from last season, the key to the Ducks' early success this season has been at the plate, Gamez said. Two weeks ago, Ore gon scored 59 runs during a sev en-game stretch at the Troy Cox In vitational in Las Cruces, N.M. A week earlier, the Ducks exploded for 30 runs in five games at the UNLV Softball Classic in Las Ve gas. Despite the Ducks’ brilliance at the plate early on, Oregon’s best results have been a pair of second place finishes that have left Gamez and some of Oregon’s players dis appointed. “We should be angry with the way we played last week,” said Cook following the Ducks’ sec ond-place finish at the Santa Clara Classic. “I think we were all a little disappointed with the results be cause we knew the rest of the teams were not at our level. We need to focus and make the rou tine plays on defense. That’s what’s keeping this team from be ing great.” Gamez agreed, but said the run ner-up finishes now will make Oregon a better team in the long run. “We’re all disappointed now,” he said. “But 1 think those disap pointments will make us hungrier down the road. We need to contin ue to play hard and aggressive, and things will work out for us. ’’ Sports Briefs Two Ducks compete in NCAA indoor meet Oregon pole vaulters Piotr Bu ciarski and Karina Elstrom will compete in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this weekend in Indianapolis at the RCA Dome. Buciarski has posted the na tion’s fourth-best indoor mark this year at 18 feet, 1/2 inches. The junior’s top mark is two inches short of Texas’ Jacob Davis nation-leading mark of 18 21/2. Buciarski had a career best of 18-41/2 at the European Indoors two weeks ago, which is higher than any mark in college compe tition this season. "I feel pretty good about that, especially after the long jour ney,” he said. “It gives me confi dence for this weekend. ’’ Buciarski said he is hoping to jump from 18-4 to 18-6 in this weekend’s meet. On the women’s side, Elstrom has the nation’s 15th best mark in the women’s pole vault at 11 10. Melissa Price of Fresno State leads the nation with a vault of 13-91/4. Dillon charged with drunken driving SEATTLE (AP) — Cincinnati Bengals running back Corey Dil lon, the AFC Rookie of the Year, was charged Thursday with drunken driving and other charges stemming from a home town traffic stop last week. Dillon, 23, has denied he was drunk when he was stopped by police in the city’s Central Area at about 1 a.m. on March 3. He contends he is a victim of police harassment. Dillon is scheduled for ar raignment Wednesday in Mu nicipal Court, said spokes woman Lori Mayfield in the office of City Attorney Mark Sidran. He is being charged with dri ving under the influence of alco hol, which carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $5,000 fine, and first-degree neg ligent driving and third-degree driving with a suspended li cense, which each carry a maxi mum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. There was no immediate com ment from attorney Jesse Franklin, who is representing Dillon in the matter. The former Franklin High School football star and Univer sity of Washington Husky was pulled over by officers who re ported watching him make three turns in quick succession with out signaling, once running over a curb. They also said they clocked him doing about 35 mph in a 25 mph zone, and that he was uncooperative and smelled of alcohol. Dillon was jailed briefly and released hours later on $1,250 bail.
