Freshman Andrea Vidlund pitched a complete game but only managed one hit in five at bats against the Beavers.

The Ducks got their only run in
the top of fifth when sophomore
Missy Coe led off with her ninth
home run of the season.
Welch continued the rally for
the Ducks with a single one out
later and Triawn Custer followed
with a single of her own. With
runners on first and second and
only one out, Vidlund grounded
into a fielder’s choice to put run
ners on first and third. But the
Ducks were unable to score as
Vidlund was tagged out at second
when Amber Hutchinson ground
ed into another fielder’s choice.
In all, the Ducks stranded 11
runners while getting six hits
against Crystal Draper and Tarah
Beyster (24-9) who got wins in
both halves of the twin bill.
“Beyster is tough, but we knew
that going in,” Gamez said. “We
had our chances, but it has been
the same story with us — we can
drive the runs in when we need
them most.”
Game 1 was no different for the
visiting Ducks as Beyster held
them to only one run on three hits
for her second win of the day.
Oregon State got on the board
first in the bottom of the third
when Guthrie singled to center
field to score Traci Feldt from
third with two outs. Feldt started
the rally by reaching on an error
and was moved around to third
without the benefit of a Beaver hit
out of the infield.
In the fourth, Oregon State
added an insurance run on a
Parisa Plant single to score Jennie
Jodoin. Oregon starter Connie
{ ^ / truly hope we can
get our heads on right
and find a way to fight
through this.
Rick Gamez
head coach
McMurren (14-15) issued a free
pass to Jodoin, a Eugene-native
and former high school teammate
of McMurren.
That second run would prove
to be the winning run as the
Ducks got a single run in the
sixth. Laux started the inning
with a single to left field and
moved to second when Welch
walked. Senior Jill Robinson then
drove in Laux from second with a
single for her 41st RBI of the year.
Both McMurren and Vidlund
continued their strong pitching
with complete games, but again
only picked up a couple of losses
for their efforts. McMurren held
the Beavers to four hits, and Vid
lund threw six strong innings in
the second contest of the after
noon.
“Our pitching kept us in the
games, and we can’t fault them for
our latest losses,” Gamez said.
“Connie gave up just four hits and
only one run was earned, and An
drea threw a good game as well,
good enough to win if we drive in
some runs.
“It is really frustrating for them
to sit in the dugout and watch hit
ter after hitter go down. They are
doing their jobs, it seems at the
time that nobody else is doing
theirs.”
By dropping these games, the
Ducks continue to put themselves
in a hole, and the road doesn’t get
much easier for the team as both
No. 9 California and No. 11 Stan
ford travel to Howe Field this
weekend for a three-game set.
However, the last time Oregon
faced the teams from the Bay
Area, it came away with a sweep.
“1 truly hope we can get our
heads on right and find a way to
fight through this.” Gamez said.
“We have a tough stretch coming
up and we need to be thinking
wins. I know we can get it back,
but now we are running out of
time and opportunities-.
“I hope things change before
Friday.”
