ATTENTION
continued from page 9
Saturday, she did essentially the same
thing, allowing the Cardinal's only hit
to the second batter of the game. The
batter was caught stealing, allowing
Nyhus to face just 21 batters for the
second time in four days.
"I'm so proud of her," catcher
Jenn Poore said. "She's worked real
ly hard. In the fall she had some in
juries, and she's just been focused on
her mechanics. It's important be
cause we have a couple pitchers who
aren't feeling as well, so (Nyhus) has
stepped up and carried us through
these games."
Before Sunday, Nyhus had not
lost a game since March 21 when
the Ducks dropped the first game of
a doubleheader against Missouri, 8
0. She made nine appearances in
that span.
"Coming off the loss that she had
(to Missouri) — to put those home
runs behind her, and the upset and
disappointment that she must have
been feeling at that time, to come
back and bounce back so strong,
throw so many scoreless innings in a
row and lead us to three wins is just
incredible," assistant coach Mike
White said.
Nyhus allowed six hits in her
three shutouts, one each to Portland
State and No. 11 Stanford and four
hits to No. 3 California. She struck
out 33 batters in the week, walked
two batters and had a 0.28 ERA. She
leads No. 15 Oregon (29-9 overall,
3-1 Pac-10) with a 1.56 ERA this
season.
The junior transfer from Central
Arizona College will find out at the
end of April — when the Canadian
team returns from three weeks in
Australia and New Zealand — if she
is on the final roster for the
Olympic squad.
Offensively minded
Despite losing the heart of their
lineup — including third-team All
American Andrea Vidlund — to
graduation after last season, the
Ducks have stepped up their offen
sive power.
Poore, Oregon's leader in batting
average (.359) and on-base percent
age (.457), regularly leads off for the
Ducks. All four Oregon players who
have started all 38 games have a
batting average above .300. As a
team, the Ducks are hitting a com
fortable .293 — an improvement
from last season's .258 average.
"It's not just one or two people
hitting well," Poore said. "If our
three, four and five hitters aren't hit
ting well, then the bottom of the
lineup is hitting well. It's more
spread out evenly this year. We do
pretty much the same things (as last
year), but I think people are more
confident this year."
