her final home Pacific-10 Conference game Sunday against Arizona State.

Softball:
Turning two
requires trust

plays and know our strengths
and weaknesses.”
Sabol adds that knowing each
other’s tendencies helps with the
team’s defense.
“I know what she can get to and I
know what I can get to,” she said.
“I know that even if a ball is hit to
me and I can’t see her or the base I
can trust her to be there and just
throw it and she feels the same way.
“We have trust in one another. ”
That trust is evident in the
smooth, effortless way they are able
to turn two.
But each has her favorite part of
what Goodell calls an “art.”
“My favorite part is turning it
when the runner is sliding into
you,” Goodell said. “It makes it
much more intense.”
Sabol said she would rather make
the play and make a good toss
to Goodell.
“I really don’t like it when run
ners are coming at me too much,”
Sabol said with a smile. “When they
try to take you out and you still turn
it, it is a good feeling too.
“As long as it doesn’t hurt.”
One thing they do agree on is not
to take every mistake too seriously.
Last weekend against Oregon
State, Sabol fielded a ball in the hole
and fired it over the first baseman’s
head into the dugout, almost knock
ing over an Oregon State coach.
“At first (Sabol) looked like she
was going to be upset, but I couldn’t
help but bust up laughing,” Goodell
said. “Then she laughs and it just
lightens things up a little bit and
helps her out too, so she’s not down
on herself.”
But Sabol admits there are times
when laughter isn’t the best remedy.
“We know when not to make fun
of each other too, because there are
times when you are really upset,”
she said.
More often then not, the pair are
making the plays and have con
tributed a considerable amount de
fensively for the Ducks over the past
three seasons.
Not to mention they’ve been the
pitcher’s best friend.
