Beavers Down Ducks in Civil War Opener, 7-4
04/02/08 | Softball
* A boxscore and play-by-play is located in the LINKS box to the right.
Down 7-1 in the seventh inning, the Ducks rallied for three runs and had runners on first and third and the tying run at the plate when the final out was retired.
After pinch hitter Blair Williamson singled that inning, Duck freshman Ashley Kivett socked a two-run homer over the right field wall ? her second of the season. Junior Neena Bryant added UO's last run three batters later with an RBI double off the top of the center field wall.
UO's first run came in the bottom of the fifth inning when Ashley Kivett walked, advanced to third base after a pair of wild pitches, and scored on a groundout by junior left fielder Sari-Jane Jenkins.
Oregon also had two runners on in the third inning after singles by Ashley Kivett and Jenkins, but Bryant flied out to the front of the center field warning track for the final out.
In the top of the third inning, Oregon State (23-16, 2-2) went up, 4-0, off Duck starter Melissa Rice (11-6) thanks to an RBI double to left field by Alan Ford, a two-run homer Cambria Miranda to right center field, and an RBI double to center field by Audrey Roderfeld.
The Beavers scored three more runs in the fifth inning off senior pitcher Alicia Cook on a three-run homer by Roderfeld that barely cleared the right center field wall.
Altogether in her 2.2 innings, Rice gave up six hits, struck out two, walked none and all four of her runs allowed were earned. Cook came in with two outs in the third, and in her 2.1 innings of duty yielded three hits and three earned runs, walked one and struck out none. Freshman Brittany Rumfelt pitched the final two scoreless innings and struck out one and walked none.
For the game, Kivett (2-for-2, 2 runs, 2 RBI) and senior shortstop Lovena Chaput (2-for-4) each had multiple-hit afternoons. Four others hit safely ? Jenkins (1-for-4, 1 run, 1 RBI), Bryant (1-for-4, 1 RBI), senior third baseman Joanna Gail (1-for-4) and Williamson (1-for-1, 1 run).
OSU's Paige Lowe (2-for-4) and Roderfeld (2-for-3, 4 RBI) gathered multiple hits, and five others had single hits. The Beavers' starter and Eugene native Kelly Dyer (14-11) pitched the complete game, gave up four earned runs, struck out five, walked three and allowed eight hits.
Oregon, which entered the game fourth in the league in home runs, now has 29 this season. All six Ducks that have cleared the fences in '08 have multiple homers ? Bryant (8), Gail (7), Chaput, Monique Fuiava and Kayleen Hudson (4), and Ashley Kivett (2).
Looking ahead, the Ducks return for three more games this weekend vs. No. 1 Arizona State and No. 8 Arizona. The Ducks face the Sun Devils, Friday at 4 p.m., and the Wildcats, Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday at Noon. Friday and Sunday's contests will be televised by Comcast Cable on Channel 37.
