Because if you al low them to stay in the ball game, they’ll stay in the ball game long enough to beat you. And hopeful ly we’ve learned.” Oregon is coming off a tough weekend road trip. The Ducks dropped two of three in the desert, losing first to No. 2 Ari zona on Friday and then bounc ing back for a convincing 10-0 win against Arizona State on Sat urday, before falling to the Sun Devils 7-3 on Sunday. So a strong performance against Portland State is of added importance because it would fig ure to help Oregon heading into its conference home opener Fri day afternoon against No. 3 UCLA. “We’re gonna go out and play hard, make sure we get it done,” Gamez said. The Vikings are playing their first season as a member of the WAC. Until this season they competed independent of any conference. Offensively, they’re led by freshman catcher Erin Newlean, who is hitting above .350. In the same category, the Ducks are led by Triawn Custer, whose average is .431. And after an out standing performance in Ari zona, Phoenix-native Christi Shleton was named Pac-10 Play er of the week. The sophomore clocked two home runs and had six RBIs in three games. Senior second baseman Jill Robinson is hitting .382 in addition to having hit a team-leading 10 home runs. Sophomore Connie McMurren (9-9) is Oregon’s top pitcher with a 2.74 earned average. Senior Danielle Haag has ap peared in 11 games and has an ERA of 1.84, while freshman An drea Vidlund holds an ERA of 2.76 through 18 games of work. “We just want to make sure that we stay sharp,” Gamez said.
