Well if softball only required 2 outs in the 7th inning this recap would have been more fun to write. Sadly that’s not the rules.
Oregon State got of to a hot start, building a 3-0 lead on the bats of McKenna Arriola and Alysha Everett. The first inning saw Everett drive home Arriola on a single up the middle, while the 3rd inning saw them team up again with a 2 run home run from Everett that gave the Beavs a 3-0 lead. Meehra Nelson got the start for the Beavs, pitching well through the first 4 innings, before being jinxed by the announcer “She has not walked anyone yet” and immediately yielding a walk.
