Get a base hit and you might score two, and we’d be in good shape.” In the bottom of the fifth Christi Shelton belted a double over the center fielder’s head to start a late inning rally, only to be stranded there as the next two hitters failed to advance her. “We’re not producing offen sively and that hurts,” Gamez said. “We don’t have anybody that has stepped up and given us that spark. You’ve got to take ad vantage of every opportunity. We had a runner on second base a couple times and couldn’t get her across.” The loss drops the Ducks into a tie for last with the Beavers. Gamez is well aware of the added pressure of the next couple games. He is surprised with the lack of effort that his team is put ting out. SMILE! O!

There is no reason why we should not be giving everything we’ve got,” Gamez said. “I think it puts a lot of pressure on us. We have to come out and play hard tomorrow and not worry about the Pac-10 race.” Tomorrow, the Ducks play a double-header at Portland State. The games were rescheduled from last week because of rain. Both Gamez and Vidlund realize the importance of the twin-bill, which precedes three games in the Bay Area this weekend. “I think if we win tomorrow, we’ll be all right,” Vidlund said. “Our confidence will be back up and we might even win a few more.” Gamez looks to tomorrow’s contests as crucial to his team’s turnaround. “Tomorrow’s game are big,” Gamez said. “We’ve got to come out and win both games. We’ve got to get back on track for the weekend. That’s why we’ll put more emphasis on tomorrow than we are the weekend.” PAC-10 continued from page 7 polls, they’re not supposed to beat. Not that polls matter to Ore gon’s players. Especially because these were games the Ducks could have won. They’re games that they were agonizingly close to winning. Three times against Oregon State (27-12-1, 1-6) the Ducks had runners in scoring po sition but didn’t capitalize. “We’re just as good as these other teams, we just have to prove it,” McMurren said. Senior center fielder Jill Robin son concurred. “It’s so frustrating right now be cause I think each individual is giving it her all,” the senior leader said. “It’s just a matter of time.... I’m not worried.” Head coach Rick Gamez isn’t quite so secure. “There’s a lack of drive,” he said. “Our kids are not giving everything they’ve got... and that does get frustrating. That hurts.” McMurren and Robinson both said that Oregon has enough de sire and confidence left to turn things around, to get back into the brutal Pac-10 race. It’s just a mat ter of figuring out how, exactly. “I don’t know why we’re not getting it done,” Robinson said. “All I know is that it can’t go on.” Exp. 4/19/00 IPizza Pipeline 16” X-tra Large 2-item Pizza PLUS 2 free 22 oz. sodas 74fPizza Pipeline 14” Large 1-item Pizza PLUS 2 free 22 oz. sodas JPizza Pipeline CALL THE HOT-LINE Eugene: 686-5808 Springfield: 746-7666 Two Courses - One Low Price Nine Holes Eighteen Holes 91 Village Drive, fTToiF COUrsT Cottage Grove 942-8730 (18 min.
