Ashley Smith Emerald Junior transfer Kristi Hall (23), who played at Consumnes River College in Sacramento, Calif., last year, will be back in the northern California area this weekend. The Ducks are aiming to pull off the upset against two of the country’s top teams in Cal and Stanford. Softball continued from page 7 for the series, as he said he will decide just a couple hours before game time. Junior Connie McMurren (8-11) and sophomore An drea Vidlund (9-4) will most likely see action on the mound, along with sophomore Lisa Wangler (4-5), who is second on the team with a 3.11 ERA and leads the team with a .387 batting average in the leadoff spot. Senior first baseman Triawn Custer has been hot of late for the Ducks. Custer tied Oregon’s career home run list with two homers against the Vikings Tuesday. One more shot over the fence will give her 34 as a Duck, which would break the mark set by Jill Robinson last season. Stanford (23-3) counters with Dana Sorensen, the Na tional Player of the Week last week. The sophomore pitcher is 17-1 on the season, including a shutout of No. 1 UCLA last week. She leads the nation with more than 12 strikeouts per game and her .024 ERA is second-best in the country. The Cardinal is averaging nearly five runs per game, while allowing its opponents only about one run. In a March 10 meeting with Cal, the Ducks managed just two hits in a 6-0 Bears victory. Wangler tallied the loss in that game at the National Invitational Tourna ment. “Cal is a really good club,” Gamez said. “They have a solid lineup one through nine.” The Bears (39-4,0-3) are looking to bounce back from three straight loses to open conference play. Veronica Nelson leads Cal with 13 home runs and 35 RBI this season. Defensively, the Bears’ .979 fielding percentage is third-best in the nation. “We’re just gonna go down there, play hard and see what happens,” Gamez said. Santiago continued from page 7 great honor to win such a huge meet.” After recording two personal records during day one, Lorenzo came out and scored two more PRs: a 15-9 in the pole vault and a 14.9 in the 110-meter hurdles.

But everything that went bad yesterday went good today.” He knows he has plenty of room for improvement before the NCAAs begin on May 30 in Eu gene and believes it will take a to tal score of 8,000 to be the nation al champion, a feat he describes as his “whole goal.” Despite the work ahead, Loren zo says he will make sure to treas ure his latest win. “Beating Trafton gave me a lot of confidence going into the season,” he said. “In a decathlon, you never know [who will win] until the last race. “It feels good ... real good.” Notes: Other Ducks competing Thursday were hammer throwers sophomore Adam Kriz (personal best throw of 192-4 in the ham mer) and redshirt junior Rian In grim (did not meet standard %length). In the 400-meter hurdles freshman Jake Garlick (third, 52.40), junior Tim Overfield (53.20) and freshman Brandon Holliday (fifth, 55.83 in different section) all competed.
