EUGENE, Ore. — Two days removed from a four-hit shutout in which she didn't allow a runner in scoring position, the sailing wasn't nearly so smooth for Miranda Elish on Saturday.
Oregon's sophomore co-ace got the ball for the Ducks' potential Eugene Regional clincher against Drake in Jane Sanders Stadium. A UO streak of 26 straight regional wins under Mike White was on the line — and at times looked very much in doubt. The Bulldogs put a runner on third with one out in the second, the first of five straight innings in which they had a runner in scoring position.
