Ducks break records and slump
■Jill Robinson and the other Oregon
seniors finish their Pacific-10 Conference
careers in style, beating California 4-0
By Matt O'Neill
Oregon Daily Emerald
What a weekend for Jill
Robinson.
In the three final Pacific-10
Conference home games of the
senior’s career she set two new
school home run records.
On Friday, the Winton,
Calif., native belted the 32nd
homer of her career, breaking a
tie with Kathy Stahl for most
career home runs. Then on
Sunday, she crushed her 15th
tater of the season, moving past
Katie Mackey for the most in a
single season.
“I was ready to go,” Robin
son said. “I was really focused
and really intense the whole
game. I wish cameras were
here so I could smile for them.”
Unfortunately the team did
not have as much success as
Robinson did, dropping two of
the three games. On Friday, the
No. 16 Ducks (34-24 overall, 6
12 Pac-10) lost to No. 10 Stan
ford 2-1, and then to No. 9 Cali
fornia 4-0 Saturday.
But the Ducks got the win
they needed Sunday, beating
Cal 4-0 and sending the seniors
out winners.
“We got together right before
the game and talked about how
we needed to send them out on
a good note,” head coach Rick
Gamez said. “They laid it all

Fresno State “is a very solid

“But it’s not like we haven’t
seen this level of play before.”
