No. 22 Oregon softball closes out regular season in winning fashion
The No. 22 Oregon softball team overcame some midseason difficulties and finished the regular season on a strong note.
Now, the Ducks will await their postseason fate.
Oregon topped No. 24 Stanford, 3-0, in Palo Alto on Sunday to clinch a series win and notch its fifth win in the last six games. After a rocky April that featured seven consecutive losses to ranked opponents, the Ducks appear to have found their stride again and notched two big wins against a strong Cardinal team.
Rachel Cid, Allee Bunker, and Tehya Bird all drove in runs for the Ducks against Stanford starter Alana Vawter, with Bunker’s contribution coming on a solo homer in the fourth inning.

Meanwhile, Oregon starter Stevie Hansen tossed a complete-game shutout, struck out one, walked none, and held the Cardinal to five hits. Hansen lowered her ERA to 3.10 on the season.
Oregon’s Sunday win came after Saturday’s 5-1 victory over the Cardinal.
Now, the Ducks (30-17, 9-14) will have to wait a week to learn where their postseason journey will begin. They finish the regular season in fourth place in the loaded Pac-12.
The NCAA will hold its selection show on Sunday, May 15 at 4 p.m. PT on ESPN 2.
