Oregon faces an uphill battle this afternoon, facing its first elimination game of the NCAA post-season against Oklahoma State. After a good start in yesterday’s matchup, the Ducks faded and the Cowgirls won going away 8 - 1 to take the 1 - 0 lead in the best-of-three games in the Super-Regional.
Stevie Hansen is the likely starter in the circle for Oregon and will need a strong game against the very effective OSU bats. The Ducks will also need to avoid the fielding mistakes they made in yesterday’s game, and need to get their own bats - which were so good in the Arkansas Regional - back in the swing of things.
