perfect bunt down the first base
line that put two runners on with
no outs.
Then Lindsey Welch put down
an amazing bunt that somehow
rolled all the way to the left field
grass, scoring one to tie the game
up. Robinson went all the way to
third on the play, and Welch was
given a rare bunt double.
But that was all Blades would
allow. The hurler dug down deep
and struck out Triawn Custer and
Andrea Vidlund back-to-back,
and got Holly Ray to ground out
to end the threat.
The Ducks had one more
chance in the seventh when the
always dangerous Robinson came
to the plate with two runners on
and two outs. Blades won the bat
tle, however, and got Robinson to
go down on strikes.
“I thought that the game was
decided in the bottom of the sixth
inning,” Oregon head coach Rick
Gamez said. “We had opportuni
ties to score and to win the game.
In fact, I think that we should
have won the game today.”
The Golden Eagles clinched the
victory in the eighth when they
scored off of an RBI single and a
walk.
Despite the tough defeat and
end to their season, Gamez is ex
tremely proud of the way his team
battled back and competed all
weekend.
In Friday’s win, Oregon con
nected for eight hits and scored
runs in the second, third and
sixth innings to eliminate North
western St.
The win set up a match-up with
hometown favorite ULL. The
game was tied at 3-3 until Andrea
Gustafson drove in what proved
to be the winning run in the fifth.
“I want to commend my team
for their effort,” Gamez said.
“They played extremely hard this
weekend. They never gave up to
day, from the first pitch all the
way to the very last pitch.”
One can only wonder how far
the Ducks could have gone had
those pitches been delivered by
someone other than Blades.

meters to go. The Cardinal re
sponded, matching Fein stride for
stride, as the two ran into the final
turn.
And then it was all Hauser.
The Stanford distance runner
unleashed a blistering kick to win
with a time of 13 minutes, 56.40
seconds. But it was Fein’s per
formance on Sunday that left the
Oregon men’s track and field
team’s final mark on its seventh
place finish in the two-day Pacif
ic-10 Conference Championships.
The Trojans won the Pac-10
team title with 154 points.
“Based on our total team pro
duction, in many ways we maxi
mized a lot of the work we could
do,” Oregon head coach Martin
Smith said.
The Ducks finished with 71
points, trailing Arizona (75) and
UCLA and Washington (tied with
83). Sophomore Jason Boness
won the Pac-10 title in the high
jump.
“We had a lot of people do a lot
of good things,” Smith said. “I’m
really pleased with them. Now we
just keep working hard and build
off that.”
Fein’s time of 13:58.06 earned
him an NCAA provisional mark,
but he doesn’t expect to make the
final cut. He will compete at the
NCAA meet in the 1,500 with the
sub-4:00 mark he earned in last
Saturday’s Oregon Twilight mile.
“Unfortunately we didn’t come
away with the win,” Fein said. “I
thought it was a good race. I
matched every move, and it was a
close last lap, other than the last
100 meters. At this point, I know
there is a lot more work I need to
do.”
Shortly before Fein’s gutsy race,
Boness took center stage by win
ning the high jump. The decisive

Jason Boness sets a new Oregon record in the high jump by clearing the bar at 7-5.
leap of 7 feet, 3 inches came on
his final attempt.
Then Boness had a shot to
break the Oregon record by clear
ing 7-5. He did it on his second at
tempt. His record mark is a per
sonal best, an NCAA qualifier and
an Olympic Trials qualifier.
“Earlier this week I predicted
that I was going to jump higher
than I ever had before, and it turns
out that I did,” Boness said. “It’s
great jumping at home, I love the
crowd.”
Nat Johnson started the Pac-lOs
off on a good note by taking sec
ond place in the long jump. In
what could be his final collegiate
meet of the season, Johnson im
proved his personal best on each
of his four fair jumps, setting fi
nally at 25-3 1/2 on his fifth at
tempt.
Johnson also competed in the
triple jump, 4xl00-meter relay
and 4x400.
“I was relieved — I’ve been
waiting for this for a long time,”
Johnson said. “I did what I ex

“I had the extra incentive to go

Duck.”
Oregon lost points when senior
Howard Moore was disqualified
by a technicality in the 400 meters
when he stepped on his line. He
would have finished fifth.
