EOU Softball Drops Final 2 Games of Series at No. 1 SOU

ASHLAND, Ore. – The Eastern Oregon softball team fell in the final two games of the Cascade Collegiate Conference series at No. 1 ranked Southern Oregon, 12-4 and 8-0 on Saturday afternoon.
 
GAME 1 |Southern Oregon 12, Eastern Oregon 4 (F/5)
 
The Mountaineers' (3-15, 2-4 CCC) best opportunity to win a game in the series against the defending national champions came in the first on Saturday. Facing NAIA All-American pitcher Gabby Sandoval, the Mountaineers scored one run in the first inning and two more in the top of the third to lead 3-2. Sophomore Haley Ebner had two RBI singles, each scoring freshman Alaina Carson. Freshman Taylor Dow brought home the other run in the third, sending a single down the right field line to score senior Jordan Henley.
 
The Raiders answered in the bottom of the fourth with three runs to take a 4-3 lead. EOU responded in the top of the fifth with an RBI groundout by Henley to bring home Carson for her third run of the game, knotting the score at 4-4.
 
However, Southern showed its No. 1 ranking in the bottom of the fifth, scoring eight runs that enforced the five-inning run rule, ending the game on a walk-off double to make it 12-4.
 
Junior Amanda Smith made the start as she pitched effectively through four innings before a tough start to the fifth. Smith allowed seven runs with just three earned over 4.1 innings with two strikeouts.
 
Carson went 2-for-2 on the day with two runs scored, a double and a walk. Ebner was 2-for-3 with two RBI, Dow went 2-for-2 with an RBI and Smith tallied the team's other hit.
 
GAME 2 | Southern Oregon 8, Eastern Oregon 0 (F/5)
 
The Mounties were held to one hit in the 8-0 loss in the finale, tallied by leadoff hitter Hailey Crudo in the fourth. Jordyn Ragan pitched five shutout innings for the Raiders.
 
Southern scored its eight runs in the first three innings, with two in the first and three in the second and third each. Senior Ashton Kazmierski came in relief and struck out two batters in 2.1 innings.
 
The Blue and Gold will next return home for a four-game series against CCC rival British Columbia on Friday and Saturday.
