The Oregon Ducks started Makenna Kliethermes in the circle today against the Beavers’ Sarah Haendiges. A rain delay put off the opening pitch for about an hour and 15 minutes.
For the most part, Kliethermes pitched well in her start, and she was going to need some offensive production to back her up. Even though a 2-run home run got her in the second inning, her pitching was solid and she limited Oregon State to just the two runs through the first four innings.
Down 2-0, Oregon’s bats found blood in the bottom of the fourth inning.
