TEMPE – Tiare Ho-Ching delivered the walk-off hit in the bottom of the eighth to give Sun Devil Softball a 4-3 win over No. 21 Oregon in the opening game of the Littlewood Classic at Farrington Stadium.
With the international tiebreak rule in effect, Ho-Ching led off the eighth with a runner at second. She ripped a 1-2 pitch down the first base line, where it deflected off the defender's glove, allowing Tanya Windle to score from second.
Oregon opened the night with a run in the first inning, but a two-run double from Ho-Ching in the third gave ASU its first lead.
