Ducks: Cook vital to team’s success
■ Continued from Page 11
batting with a .341 average. 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.
