Two sixth-inning homers lifted No. 6 Oregon to a 4-3 win over No. 3 Arizona on Sunday, allowing the Ducks to avoid the three-game sweep in Tucson.
“We came out hard, we came out like we were all weekend, battling it out,” said UA center fielder Alyssa Palomino, who was 2-for-3 with a homer. “We came up a little short, but we keep learning things in these games. We got the series, so I guess that’s something to be proud about.”
Danielle O’Toole (24-3) surrendered a pair of solo homers to Nikki Udria and Lauren Lindvall as the Ducks erased a 3-2 deficit.
