■ The Oregon softball
team climbed back into
the Pac-10 race with a
sweep in the Bay Area
By Matt O'Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
What a difference a few wins
and some confidence can make.
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

Relays
By Scott Pesznecker

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

■ 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;
