The old baseball cliche is “get ‘em on, get ‘em over, get ‘em in.” Oregon State did that all night while Arizona softball stalled as the Beavers defeated the Wildcats 4-1. It was OSU’s first win over UA since 2016 and its first win in Corvallis since 2013.
The pitchers had almost identical stat lines. Arizona’s Hanah Bowen and Oregon State’s Sarah Haendiges both walked five batters. Bowen gave up four hits while Haendiges gave up three. But in the one stat that mattered, Haendiges gave up no earned runs while Bowen gave up four.
