Eugene Regional
vs Albany 32-14 (Thursday 5:30 PM, Streaming on ESPN)

4-0 win, cg by Miranda with 14 k's and Lauren Burke with a pitch hit two run homer in the sixth.

3pm today vs Drake.

I thought it was interesting that White chose Elish to go instead of Pac-12 pitcher of the year Kleist -- not that there was going to be any "wrong" decision. Kleist goes this afternoon.

I kind of expected it. The second game would likely be against the best opposing team in the region. Win that and you're in control and guaranteed you have a fairly fresh Kleist in a must win 4th game should you drop the third.

I was thinking the very samething...

they went elish/kleist/balint last weekend @ cal. i just assumed white thought elish had surpassed kleist.

Ducks up 2-0 in the 5th.

Kleist has either a no-hitter or a perfect game going through five innings of work, not sure which but either would be pretty awesome

Lauren Burke gets her second pinch-hit homerun in as many days to make it 4-0 Ducks.

Oregon is dominating, up 5-0. ^ Ya great pitching by Kleist.

I got home from the gym and so I'm able to find a box score, and yep, Kleist has a perfect freaking game through six innings. Drake's about to come up for the 7th, we'll see if she can pull it off.

Got the first out...

She blew the perfect game! Line drive single with two down in the seventh! Man oh man...

Ducks win 5-0, will play the winner of Drake/Albany tomorrow. If they win tomorrow, either in game one or an if-necessary game two, they'll advance to the super regional.
