Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Tuesday, May 30, 2017 College Softball Oregon clinches spot in Women’s College World Series Associated Press EUGENE — Mia Camuso hit a two-run single in a four-run seventh inning and the Oregon Ducks rallied to beat Kentucky 6-5 on Saturday for a trip to the Women’s College World Series. With the NCAA Super Regional victory, the third- seeded Ducks (52-6) advanced to Oklahoma City for the fourth time in six seasons. Abby Cheek’s solo home run in the fourth inning gave Kentucky (39-19) a 3-0 lead, but Oregon answered with two runs in the fifth inning to narrow it. Erin Rethlake hit a two-run double in the bottom of the sixth to extend the Wildcats’ lead to 5-2. Oregon loaded the bases with no outs and Nikki Udria hit a two-run single up the middle to narrow the gap before Camuso’s go-ahead single. “It was pretty special to get that hit,” Camuso said. “I’d been struggling a little bit. You’ve just got to keep swinging and pull through. I’m glad I got to do that for my team.” Camuso wore a hat emblazoned with “OKC Bound” in the postgame press conference. Miranda Elish (11-0) pitched three innings in relief for the win, allowing three hits and two runs. Meagan Prince pitched 2 2/3 innings and allowed Oregon’s four runs in the seventh for the loss. Oregon will advance to face the winner of the Seattle super regional series between Washington and Utah. The Utes won 9-8 to force a game three on Sunday. BEAVERS: Continued from 1B The Beavers are riding a 16-game winning streak into the postseason. The back-to-back College World Series champions in 2006 and 2007 have made the postseason 17 times with a 51-33 overall record. It is the sixth time that they will host a regional, and they’re 26-6 in postseason play at Goss Stadium. Oregon State was also the top seed in 2014, but got upset in the Corvallis Regional by UC Irvine. Nebraska (35-20) fell twice to the Beavers earlier this season in Surprise, Arizona. Ivy League cham- pion Yale is 32-16, while Holy Cross (23-7) won the Patriot League tournament. “We’ve just got to get ourselves prepared to play. We have to understand that, yes, we’ve accomplished something really special in the regular season,” Casey told reporters on Monday. “We’ve got to kind of quit talking about that and get ready for the next game.” MARINERS: Continued from 1B Gaviglio also got his first major league hit, a single to lead off the third, and scored the game’s first run. Charlie Blackmon and Trevor Story hit solo homers and Gerardo Parra got two hits and two RBIs for Colorado. Tyler Chatwood labored through 4 2-3 innings in taking the loss. The Mariners gave Gavi- glio a 6-2 lead with three runs in the third on just one hit — Gaviglio’s single up the middle — and three more in the fifth on three walks, three singles and a two-run double by Seager off Chatwood (4-7). The Rockies chipped away at the lead. Story homered in the fifth and an RBI double by Parra in the sixth made it 6-5. Seattle went to the bullpen to shut the door. Three relievers got through the eighth, and Edwin Diaz worked the ninth for his ninth save and just his second in three weeks. UP NEXT Mariners: LHP Ariel Miranda (4-2, 4.22 ERA) has allowed only four earned runs over his last three starts. Rockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (3-4, 5.40 ERA) is 2-1 with a 2.55 ERA in his last four outings.

PLAYOFFS: Stanfield scoring runs at record pace Continued from 1B The Rockets are trying to reach their third straight championship round, which is guaranteed to have at least one of the two teams represented for the fifth season in a row. First pitch is scheduled for 5 p.m. BASEBALL No. 4 ST. MARY’S (24-4) at No. 1 STANFIELD/ECHO (24-2) — At Stanfield, after scoring 23 runs in each of their first two playoff games, the Tigers are scoring at an unseen rate in at least the modern era of the OSAA postseason. The Tigers scored a total of 43 runs on their way to the 2016 title, and their 46 runs in the first two rounds this season is by far the most to start out since the OSAA went to six classifica- tions for the 2007 brackets. Only four teams have managed to score more in an entire postseason, one of them being the 2011 Stanfield team that scored 47. Sheldon scored 52 on its way to a 6A title in 2013, but needed five games to reach that total. The Crusaders aren’t up to Stan- field’s level offensively, but could be able to slow down the Tigers with their defense and are coming off an 8-0 win over Santiam Christian in the quarter- finals. St. Mary’s has held its last 16 straight opponents to three runs or less. St. Mary’s lost in this round last year. It will be the first time the schools have faced each other in baseball.
