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.

Miranda (4-2, 4.22 ERA)

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. First
pitch is at 5 p.m.
