A day after the No. 23 Oregon softball team (29-17 overall, 4-6 Pacific-10 Conference) dropped its fifth game in a row, the team got some much-needed mo mentum by sweeping a double header against Portland State. Those wins gave the Ducks the confidence to rip off three road wins in the Bay Area. Oregon swept No. 9 Stanford (34 11, 3-8) and No. 8 California. (39-14, 3-8). The sweep of the Cardinal was the first for the Ducks since 1995. “These were huge wins for us,” head coach Rick Gamez said. “The kids battled and fought hard.” The three-game road-trip was capped by a 3-2 win over host Stanford, their second win in as many days. The Ducks trailed the home team 2-0 until the top of the fifth when they evened the score on two singles and two er rors. Freshman Andrea Vidlund sparked the rally with a single and advanced to second when Holly Ray reached base on an error. Senior Andrea Gustafson singled home Vidlund to close the lead to one run. Gustafson then stole second and Ray scored from third to even the score at 2-2. Ray started the Ducks’ next rally in the top of the seventh with a single. Amber Hutchin son moved her to second with a single and Ray came around to score on a Gustafson single. Stanford’s only scoring came in the third inning when two Turn to Softball, page 14A SOFTBALL CC These were huge wins for us. The kids battled and fought hard. Rick Gamez head coach _n Oregon men and women attack Mt. SAC Jason Boness, Howard Moore and the 4x400 relay team lead the Oregon men at the Mt. SAC Relays By Scott Pesznecker Oregon Daily Emerald Track and field common sense states that good competition means fast times and high marks. That proved true for some Oregon men at the Mt. San Antonio College Relays, held in Wal nut, Calif. The meet began last Friday and con cluded Sunday afternoon. But if the top-quality competition of the prestigious track meet proved one thing, it was that the Ducks have lots of catching up to do. With Steve Fein not competing due to ill ness, Oregon was again without a significant threat in the distances. Junior Michael Kasahun, a first-year transfer from Fresno City College, ran more than a 30-second personal best for the Ducks in the 5.000 meters with a time of 14 minutes, 24.54 seconds — but fin ished 19th in his heat. Butler’s Fraser Thompson won the 5,000 in a time of 13:48.55, beating Oregon’s top finish TurntoMen,page16A ■ Katie Crabb steals the show at the Mt. SAC Relays with a personal record in the 1,500 on Saturday By Mirjam Swanson Oregon Daily Emerald Big meets such as the Mt. San Antonio Col lege Relays are designed for runners to take ad vantage of top-flight competition to put up some fast times. Oregon’s Katie Crabb followed protocol Sat urday, finishing with the fourth-best time among collegians in the 1,500, with a 11/4-sec ond personal-best time of 4 minutes, 19.88 sec onds. The finish virtually guarantees the senior a second trip to the NCAA track and field cham pionships later this year in North Carolina. The time was a mere .24 hundredths of a sec ond away from becoming one of the Ducks’ all time top 10; “The race broke perfectly for [Crabb],” head Turn to Women, page 16A
