FOURTH

Los Angeles, was the first conference se
ries that Oregon has lost this season.
UCLA scored its two runs on two
home runs in the top of the fourth in
ning. With one out, shortstop Jodie
Legaspi took an Ani Nyhus pitch deep
to left center field. Catcher Emily
Zaplatosch flied out to left field for
the second out, but right fielder Lisa
Dodd took Nyhus deep again, again
to left field.
The Ducks managed just two hits in
the game, a single by right fielder
Kayleen Hudson and a bunt single by
pinch hitter Ann Marie Topps.
"I don't know how we can show up
so lethargic against the defending na
tional champs," Arendsen said Friday.
"I'm very disappointed. We didn't
make any adjustments against a very
good pitcher."
Oregon found its offensive rhythm
in the second inning Saturday with a
seven-run, two-out rally in the
second, en route to the 10-2 win.
After second baseman Erin Good
ell walked to load the bases, center
fielder Suzie Barnes fought off a hand
ful of foul balls to score Hudson.
Catcher Jenn Poore then dropped a
bloop single past the shortstop into
shallow center field, scoring left field
er Dani Baird and Goodell.
In the next at-bat, shortstop Bre
anne Sabol hit a three-run home run,
her third shot of the season, directly
over the 220-foot measurement on
the center field wall.
Third baseman Ashley Richards
cmshed a pitch to the same spot, but
two feet lower, as her double hit the top
of the wall and came back into play.
Richards scored on a single to left field
by designated player Beth Boskovich.
"That inning was huge," Nyhus
said Saturday. "Any time that we score
10 runs off a top-class pitcher, we have
to be happy with that. Our team did a
really good job of scoring mns, and
we played great defense."

third to make the score 9-0.
Nyhus gave up a home run in the
fourth and a run in the fifth for Wash
ington's two scores."
In the bottom of the fifth, Poore
singled in first baseman Kristi Leiter
for the eight-run lead to end the game.
.The 1-0 loss to the Huskies marked
the Ducks' third Sunday in a row with
an extra-inning game. In the top of
the eighth, Washington first baseman
Sarah Hyatt led off with a home run
to left center field.
"We didn't bunt well and we did
n't score," Arendsen said Sunday. "I
thought Ani pitched a whale of a
game. It should never come down to
one pitch."
Nyhus threw 7 2/3 innings, allow
ing the one run and five hits. She
walked four batters and struck out six.
"I think we just let the pitcher get to
us," Poore said Sunday. "We didn't hit
the pitcher as well as we should have,
we didn't go out and attack like we
did yesterday."
Washington pitcher Ashley Boek
kept the Ducks off the bases, allowing
four baserunners on three hits. She
struck out 11.
